Avril Lavigne says a string of rock and roll icons will be featured on her upcoming new album as the Covid-19 pandemic meant she was able to collaborate with people who are usually too busy to jam.
The 37-year-old Canadian pop-punk singer is marking 20 years in the business this year as she prepares to release her seventh studio album.
Fans already got a taste of what to expect last year when Avril released her lead single from the upcoming album, Bite Me – a pulsing pop-rock track with Blink-182 legend Travis Baker on the drums.
Now Avril says that the Covid-19 pandemic was a blessing in disguise when it comes to her new music as she was able to work with a number of high profile stars for her new album – which will be her first to be released after she signed with 45-year-old Travis’ DTA Record

She told The Sun: “I have a bunch of different features on the record, the most I have had before, as everyone was in town.”
While a previous interview saw Avril explain which bands had always influenced her the most – sparking speculation singers or musicians from the other groups could feature on her new record.
She told Entertainment Weekly towards the end of last year: “I really went back to what sounds I originally was influenced by at the beginning of my career [for this album].

“To the core, I’m a kid from a small town who listened to bands like Blink-182 and Green Day and NOFX in high school, and I tapped into that.”
She continued: “It’s fast. It’s fun. It’s just pure rock & roll from front to back.
“There’s a lot of reflecting upon different relationships that I have gone through and where I’m at, and even though there’s songs about past love experiences that didn’t work out, I’m in such a good place in my life that it’s still just fun and feisty and light.

“I’m kind of poking fun at myself that I’ve gone through a lot in love.”

While the star recently explained that she wants to turn the story she told in her second single, Sk8r Boi into a film.
She told iHeartRadio last month: “Recently with it being almost the 20th anniversary, a lot of people have been asking me to play this song on TV shows, so it keeps getting brought back up and people will always reference it to me.
"And so, I’m actually going to turn this song into a film and take it to the next level."

It was back in March 2002 that Avril made her music debut with her single Complicated which shot to the top of the charts around the world – reaching number 3 in the UK.
