Yeah, totally. Didn't she always say, even back during LG era, that she wanted to get married and have kids one day? And now she seems to have given up on it. Maybe she cannot have kids? Let's not go there please. I think that's a little too personal for us to speculate about that. Plus to me Avril would adopt if she really wanted a kid. Like Madonna, she once said she wanted a career/life like her.

Wait, Billboard is a music magazine?! For real?! BAHAHAHAH I totally felt like I was reading some fashion magazine. "Avril's wearing this and that, sitting on her suede couch in her cathedral-like home, sipping rosé"... *facepalm* I don't think this is BMG's fault, though. It's Billboard's fault. It was their job to write a decent article. Yes but maybe the writer had a hard job write a full article about her, when BMG dont let Avril to speak about the album, you know what I mean? Like they said OK i have to meet avril, u have to write a long story about her but u cant ask her about any new music related stuff... So poor guy had to write about something else I get what you mean, but assuming you're right about BMG telling Avril not to say anything, the person who wrote that article still could've at least written more about HAW. And Avril surely still could've teased something, like "there's lots of crazy stuff been happening in the studio", even very small things like that imo. But the entire article just seems completely unfocused, like the writer was totally indecisive about what to write. I personally have no idea what the article is actually about. Avril's glamour/fashion life style? Her past relationships? How she became famous / throwback? But according to the front cover it's supposed to be about her comeback, HAW, and her battle with Lyme. *still confused*

She said that sentence because she meant Why do people get married if then they live secret relationship with lovers ? What's the point of getting married ?
No worries, she is still a very impulsive girl, she's always been, and she will get married in 1 year even after 2 failed weddings if she wakes up one morning and she feels like it. Just like doing a tattoo.

Anyone else found it sad when they quoted her saying "why do people get married?"(may be wrong wording here) very quietly after the Shania story. Edit: oops I'm sorry Nikki I quoted you by mistake sorry I was going off the Dickie thing lol sorry Between being submerged in Hollywood/celebrity "15 minute" relationship culture, and her parents being divorced despite having religious/conservative values, its no wonder she has troubles understanding marriage. I've always pictured Avril as someone who likes to party and be spontaneous and kind of irresponsible. She also seems totally chaotic/ADHD. But she's also very self-confident, doesn't let anyone tell her what to do, always gets what she wants. I think she can be very stubborn, which can surely annoy other people at times. But at the same time she's private and shy around people she doesn't know. She's very loving and down-to-earth. She might have some moments when she lets herself delve into that Hollywood glamour style, but in the end she never forgets where she came from. That's how I've always pictured her. But that Billboard article makes her seem like some typical arrogant Hollywood glamour girl, who constantly lets herself be driven around in her limousine, where she sips her expensive champagne with her pinky sticking out, stupidly giggling with some dumb, plastic girlfriends. She seems like a, well, dumb blonde. Take what you pictured, split it in half like a tasty dampfnudel, take the article, now split that one in half, merge one of each with the other, and voila, you probably have a rough image of what Avril is actually like. Wealth and fame define her social status, and your mentality does change with the change in wealth and social positioning, the only question is, to what degree and in what way. Avril grew up in a middle class household where the mom was even able to be a "housewife". She has probably seen poverty only in the form of dark human silhouettes dotting some of the streets of Los Angeles, and what constituted "hard work toward dreams" in her life meant being directed by parents to sing on local fairs for a couple of years until the big break, and then a couple of years more under the authority of industry's head honchos for her songs to top the national charts. She's only 34 yet she's been a millionaire celebrity for the majority of her life already, and she didn't even need to finish high school. The only way she can get a wider perspective of various common plights now is through self-education. Until then, delayed private flight to the Bahamas is the worst thing in the world. Seems like she's in a bubble of her own? Well, lets take the regular citizen of the developed world like you and I. We probably grew up in a decent apartment or a house with good heating, have schooling provided by the state from toddler ages to high education in colleges and universities. Apart from economic troubles, traffic accidents, health issues (also covered by the state) we're largely living in absence of any dangerous elements. We have availability of a number of luxuries, including electronics, resorts, and all other stuff that we know are fun from our lives. We have to work 5 days a week or more to maintain this lifestyle of ours. Common plights of such a person? Losing job, car breaking down, overworked, tired of doing choirs typical of any life, getting sick of all sorts of annoyances, it really weighs you down, right? But, do you think about how you're thankful there's no snipers aiming down the streets, picking off the slowest walking civilians, like they did in Sarajevo? Are you thankful every moment that there's no abandoned minefields around where you or your kids/siblings/etc. or something could accidentally get severely injured or even die? Do you thank god every time when clean water in a "hot" and "cold" edition pours out of the pipes, located in the cosiness of your home? Are you happy that you don't have to walk around your home ankles-deep in water during heavy rains? Of course not, these things are mundane, they are an obvious part of the modern world, they are basics, duh... ... but not for billions of people they ain't. We're all in bubbles, but that doesn't mean we should be okay with it. We shouldn't lower our living standards, and our problems can feel just as big to us in relative terms as the "worse problems" are to others, but neither should we be ignorant of the bigger picture and the plight of the less fortunate. Many of the creme de la creme are all mouth no action, because they "care" for the poorest only as long as the added popularity feeds their own narcissistic needs - like Bono of U2, who preaches up and down about solidarity, then dodges taxes to the last chewing gum.

Damn, first we get her giving us a wink in the YouTube vid (after almost shedding a tear) then we get her in the green sweater looking all ready for action and THEN confirming the colab with T-Swizzle (when Tay slipped unto the New York studio during the Rep tour). All in all, a pretty good day. When did she confirm the collab?

I'm in agreement with the rest of you this article is awful. Like Tamy said, it has no direction. Rosegold said my thoughts perfectly. No direction to this article, overly wordy, paints her in a terrible light, no focus on the subject, just jumps around from her career beginnings to Lyme to random shit no one cares about with her past relationships, drinking rose, Shania... like what? And yeah it doesn't tell us anything about the new music at all.
The one thing I found interesting was what she said about the GMA interview. That was always strange to me because one minute you see her having a normal conversation, then the next scene she's in tears. The interview was very brief, yet there is no way she only sat down for 5 minutes and immediately started crying. There was definitely lots of footage left on the cutting room floor. I always thought she intended to release Fly after having Lyme as a way to support the SO and sort of as a "comeback" song, I had no idea it was just for SO and that she didn't seem like she really wanted to release it or do the interview.
The interview is crap but the pictures for the most part are great (I really don't like the pigtails or chunky shoes though) and it's exciting she is on the cover.
I find it weird the interview was done way back in August but is only being released now in October?
As for them saying the album will be released in early 2019... well. I think they would probably know more than that random "insider." It's possible it was a mistake, that they printed this before BMG changed it to 2018 (the CEO did say Q4 release and Avril herself did say this year). It's also possible it really has been pushed to 2019. I mean weren't some fans complaining that the Christmas albums would overshadow it or they thought it would feel rushed?
I think early 2019 is not too bad, in the grand scheme of things. GL came out in March and it did fine. If it's within the first quarter of the new year, I won't mind that. I would love for it to come out this year still, but I can see how that may feel rushed. It maybe would not get very much attention. Releasing in the new year is kind of like what the album is all about, starting new, beginning a new chapter, wiping the slate clean, etc. There will be more opportunities for Avril in the new year, with more festivals and that kind of thing, plus it was basically confirmed there will be a tour of some kind, so that will probably happen next year as well (GL was released in March, BST started shortly after).
I really don't think the hype is going to die. We thought the album would be out over a year ago, yet here we all are, still waiting. Her fanbase will wait 20 years for the new album if they have to and will buy it the moment it drops. As for the GP, they probably don't really care. If they hear about her new album, they'll check it out if they feel like it, no matter when it's out. No one but her fans is waiting for this album to drop. And they are going to release more singles before the album is out. There's also a rumor she will tape Carpool Karaoke. Not to mention at least one more performance coming up from the Honda Stage.

I think the date of 2019 is correct - regardless of if it was written in August, the jouno would have contacted her Publicist before going to print to confirm release date... So I'd say it's pretty accurate.
Gah, I just hope we get single #2 before the end of the year or I will DIE (dramatic much? yes lol)

Does anyone think/know if the content of the Billboard article online will be the same one of the magazine? I've never read a Billboard magazine before, so I don't know if what they post online is the totality of the interview or if there's more in the physical copy. Maybe there's more info on the album in the actual magazine?

I’m not saying anything as fact but ... from her perspective I can understand why there wasn’t really that much promo/interviews. she seems like she just wants to leave it in the past and move forward and not dwell on it anymore. and I feel like if she does start doing interviews it’s going to end up being the same questions about lyme like how they always asked the same questions about chad during AL5 era. but I get that at this point it’s unavoidable.

Don't trust the magazine some other singers have had problems with Billboard. I remember this year or last year Selena had some issues with the writer because he told a different story and wrote things she did not say about a Bear and the Weeknd
The issue made her look like she just dropped GF.

Well doesn’t sound like she’s so happy about that description http://instagram.com/p/BpF218MH4GM But she sounds really nice and cool here “replying” to what’s written in the article, sounds like her 100%

We get them at the radio station I work for and I have read the articles in it, I'm pretty sure it's the same as what they post online.

Interesting other singers have had issues with Billboard reporting #fakenews. I really hope for Avril's sake the reporter embellished some details here, either from drinking too much rose or just for the sake of selling magazines I guess. Avril's response makes me feel a bit better about it and perhaps some of these details are made up, since Avril seems kind of annoyed with her portrayal.
I agree Avril doesn't seem like she wants to really talk about Lyme anymore (in that Billboard video she is looking away constantly and seems very uncomfortable talking about it), but at the same time, most of the new album is about that subject, so she is kind of going to have to address it.

Tbh I don't even wanna hear about Lyme anymkre. Not being rude but I also hate talking about my health problems over & over. Yay Avril yes clap back at this bitch. It's such a horrible horrible article. I'm glad she did it in good spirits too . For some reason her response made me feel better about this mess.
