Avril Lavigne Walks First Carpet in Two Years
Are you ever like, dang, I wonder what Avril Lavigne is doing these days? SAME. And turns out she's been busy looking flawless and working on new music.
The singer, known for seminal hits like "Sk8er Boi" and "Complicated" made her first red carpet appearance in two years, attending the 25th annual Race To Erase MS Gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. And she revealed that her new album (the first since 2013) is due out this year!
"It's a really powerful record," she told E! on the carpet. "I've been working on this for three years. I can actually say this time I'm going to be done with this album in two weeks and I will put it out this year."
Avril was diagnosed with Lyme Disease in 2015, explaining at the time, "I felt like I couldn't breathe, I couldn't talk and I couldn't move. I thought I was dying."
The illness had a tremendous impact on her life in the public eye, but the good news is she appears to be feeling much better: "I haven't even been able to come to one of these events for a few years," she said. "I've been tucked away and hibernating and healing, and it's very up and down. Everything is brighter when you go through an experience like that. I've always been a really grounded and grateful person, but it changes a lot. The simple things in life are what mean the most, really. I'm happy to be here, happy to be supporting."
Because you know you want to watch, here's "Sk8er Boi" for your viewing pleasure.
