Susanna Hoffs is 67 and feeling better than ever!

The legendary lead singer of the ’80s all-girl band the Bangles, who rose to superstardom thanks to songs like “Walk Like an Egyptian” and “Manic Monday,” took to Instagram on Saturday to mark her 67th birthday. Looking stunning without a stitch of makeup, Hoffs sported a pink shirt with her brown hair sitting on her shoulders. The beloved singer embraced her age and shared some of the knowledge she's gained through the years.

"Hello, my friends. Today is my birthday, and I feel nothing but gratitude. A little older, and a little wiser. And just oh so grateful," Hoffs shared in the video, which included a hashtag that read "no makeup."

Hoffs Loves to Dance it Out

Hoffs loves to dance on social media, and took to Instagram to share a fun video of herself dancing it out while James Brown‘s “Get Up Offa That Thing” played in the background last year. Looking naturally beautiful without makeup, the ’80s icon wore loose black pants and a denim shirt as she jammed out to the music.

“Nothing brings me more joy than dancing to music!!” said Hoffs.

A New Book Explores The Bangles’ Influence

Last year, a new book titled Eternal Flame: The Authorized Biography of the Bangles by Jennifer Otter Bickerdike explored the band’s influence on modern culture.

“It’s an overused word, but we were organic,” Bangles guitarist Vicki Peterson told the New York Times. “We formed ourselves, played the music we loved, we really were a garage band.” But a garage band “that somehow became pop stars,” drummer Debbi Peterson added.

While the band had tremendous success, scoring five Top 5 hits, cracks were showing by the end of the ’80s. They broke up in 1989. However, they have reunited several times throughout the years.

Hoffs Re-recorded ‘Eternal Flame’

Hoffs released a new solo version of one of the Bangles’ most iconic songs last year.

“Here is a brand new recording of ‘Eternal Flame’ which I co-wrote in 1988 with my friends Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly,” Hoffs wrote in a social media post. “I was inspired to sing it again! As I stood before the microphone, I fought back tears of gratitude for the opportunity to sing a song I have loved and cherished my entire adult life. We’ve grown up together!”

The singer continued, sharing how people continue to tell her how much the song means to them.

“I’ve been touched time and again by stories from friends and strangers alike who’ve expressed how much ‘Eternal Flame’ has meant to them, whether the song played as they walked down the aisle at their wedding, or brought consolation. I still wake up each morning, motivated to sing, to write, to make art, and to find ways to connect,” she noted. “I’m still that same girl with that same emotion—older, and hopefully wiser.”
