I don't think she actually has ADHD. I think she means she is a hyperactive person, but she doesn't actually have it. Even if she did or really struggled with memorization for any reason, she can always put a lyric sheet down in front of her if it's that bad. I'd rather hear the new songs even if it means she has to have a sheet in front of her.
For me, the real issue is her general attitude about having to learn lyrics, like she just can't be bothered. It'd be one thing if she said "I really struggle with learning lyrics, I have a hard time memorizing them, but I do the best I can." But she calls it "a pain in the ass," which basically translates to "I'm too lazy and can't be bothered to put some extra time and effort into learning them because the fans want to hear them." It is just unprofessional to have such a blase attitude about a very basic aspect of the career that SHE chose. What else does she even do all day long? It's not like she has a super packed schedule, half the time she's sitting on a tour bus or a plane, she has plenty of time to sit and review lyrics. Fact of the matter is that she's just plain lazy and only feels like doing what she is already comfortable with. She doesn't feel like making the effort to go outside her comfort zone or challenge herself to learn new material. I think she peaked as an artist probably back in GL era, sadly.

The inconsistency in the setlist is a pain. If more dates do go on sale this week I’d really like a rough idea of how many new songs to expect before I book. She should be doing 5/6 new songs as standard then mixing up the rest.
And yeah that quote from her is very telling. I do honestly think she’s just lazy. It’s no excuse and it’s disrespectful to the fans, but I think it is purely laziness. The “too emotional” excuse during the tour for GL wasn’t true at all lol, she just couldn’t be arsed.

And that is why to this day, the UMS era will always be her best. She not only learned all of the new songs but also learned to play them on piano and guitar. Despite your thoughts on the album, as an era, it was golden.
As regards the tour dates, I really doubt she’ll pause until March, it’s basically half a year with no tour in between. I’m sure there are other dates coming sooner than that probably for November and February.

The songs on piano aren't even that hard, it's just an excuse since GL era. I'm a basic/low level piano player and could easily learn to play all of her songs if I were to put the effort in, and that is the issue with Avril, for the most part she lacks ambition and can be quite lazy.
I'd really be tempted to go see her on tour, but the setlist really isn't to my taste. I'd love a 22 song setlist with most of the new songs and some surprises like Losing Grip, Nobody's Home, GYWYL and some of the self-written performed solo, it would make for a really interesting show. It all seems a little predictable and cliche. She really doesn;t like to make herself vulnerable on stage like alot of the other musicians I like.

What happened to her passion for this album? Might be it was never there.

Her mind....
"The fanbase is ready for me to grow and show different sides of me, and be more vulnerable, and really, like, let down the walls. And it’s time for that for me, too, to be open and explore different styles. Just going a little further, pushing myself more."

From the moment people started discussing finding these European shows on ticket websites, I was skeptical about the validity of it. Anything that doesn't come directly from Avril or her team is sketchy IMO. I do think there will be overseas dates in 2020, considering the poster said "World Tour." Rodney also hinted at international dates, when he said he couldn't join Avril for "this leg," indicating multiple legs. But I would wait until Avril announces something official.

Btw, the Cologne date has been removed from the kölnticket website. It initially said ticket sale would start on her birthday. In the last days it got changed to 4th of October and now all information about the show is gone from the website.

And your point is?
This is just a text talking about the album not the tour. This link initially showed the date, venue etc. but as you can see yourself it's not there anymore. And it's not like I said it's cancelled I only reported that all the info is suddenly gone.
