Avril Lavigne

Canadian singer Avril Lavigne first became a star in 2002 when she released her
debut album “Let Go”. She was just 17 years old at the time. Almost a decade
later, she is still a star. Now she is 26, although she is struggling to shake off her
teenage image - she released her fourth album “Goodbye Lullabye”. Stardom has
not been easy. She already has a divorce under her belt and, as she explained, she
has spent most of her adult life touring.
About the tour life
It’s important for me to find a balance. I spent most of my life on the road. So, since I was 17, I’ve been travelling and doing tours. So it was nice for me to kind of chill at home and like live my life for a little bit. And now I’m... I’m very like
energized and I’m very inspired. And so I’m ready to get back out and do my tour
now.
About Abbey Dawn, her line of clothing
It’s really cool because I can travel, like how I travel a lot and go to the different countries and get inspiration and check out all the different trends, especially when I go to Tokyo, like the fashion is ridiculous there. So I get a lot of inspiration from my line when I travel and I have a really great team at Abbey Dawn, who get me, and we all work really well together. So it’s so much fun. And I’ve had a blast with it, and I’m actually going to do heels now and bags and I’m bringing a lot more to the line and I’m starting some guys’ pieces for the first time. So it’s growing and it’s just a project that it’s a lot of fun. It’s like I focus on my music and I do that and I’ve been doing music now for like 10 years. And it’s nice to have these other opportunities.
About Tattoo
I’m definitely not addicted to getting tattoos at all. I’m a free spirit and like I like
to have fun. And I have, you know, moments where I want to get tattoos. It’s all
about remembering certain moments in life and connections to people. And a lot
of my tattoos are matching tattoos. And I’ve gotten them with friends and... and
even family. And it’s someone’s personal decision, if they want to do that or not.
