I wonder if the HAW intro is so long to allow her time to change costumes. It’s a very intricate piece she has to change into and different shoes as well, I can imagine it takes a couple minutes to get out of the old outfit and put on that white robe thing and those big boots.

Maybe the outfit change is one of the reasons. But encores usually have pre-planned pauses even when the artist doesn't change outfits. In her case, even during festival shows when she didn't change her clothes, the pause and the HAW video were there. A short break would be expected, but I think hers is too long.
Could it also be because the songs are more vocally challenging? I read somewhere that she was seen using oxygen masks during the encore break in one of these recent festivals - which isn't uncommon for artists, especially under certain health conditions or after years of practice. I guess we’ll never know. I don’t think she’s open enough to address this in a documentary someday.

Was it definitely an oxygen mask and not a vocal steamer? I think that would be more likely.
I have developed a cold today which is unfortunate but I'm still looking forward to seeing Avril tonight!

That's probably it, lol. I've no clue. I probably read about it on Reddit... so it's not an official source. And I don't think people are aware enough of the differences between these things... but whatever she needs to use, maybe it takes some time as well. Even when she doesn't change outfits, she takes some time backstage and keeps the HAW video there. I also don't think that using it means a bad thing or that she is sick or whatever.

I would agree it’s probably a vocal steamer. If she’s needing to use oxygen masks that’s… concerning? Normal, healthy people don’t just randomly need oxygen masks. A vocal steamer helps hydrate the vocal folds and open up the voice so it’s possible she does use it to soothe her voice between songs and especially before she’s about to sing more difficult songs.
I think the long pause is just meant to build anticipation for her to come back onstage but it shouldn’t be as long as it is.

Manchester show was a massive success imo! Firstly, I've never seen Avril so talkative and she actually seemed took back by the size of Castlefield Bowl (it's quite intimate), she even mentioned that it's the first time in a while she's seen peoples faces. I'd like to say her vocals were on point, but to be honest the crowd were belting out all of the songs so it was quite hard to hear her at times. I honestly think she's still gassed from the response she got at Glastonbury and is enjoying herself on stage. I've been a critic recently but I'm impressed at her stage presence over the last few shows. Well done Avril

How many times does Avril say 'da' in 'Things I'll Never Say?'

This post by 'The Manc' captures a cool moment that turned Castlefield Bowl into a choir.

Really enjoyed the gig tonight in Manchester. Avril was really chatty with the audience and interacting a lot, my favourite observation she made was “I think that’s a bridge” which made me laugh - the railway bridge that goes past the venue.
I would say though that the sound was bad, so quiet - probably because it’s a residential area surrounded by flats. The crowd were so loud, I couldn’t hear much of her but when they were quieter she seemed to be on good form.
Has she been missing the bridge of when you’re gone recently? Shame she didn’t do the full song but then again it might have been because the curfew was strict.
Safe to say it’s been a really successful run of gigs in the UK this tour.

It kind of looked like the bridge from "My Happy Ending".. she was definitely the most chatty i've ever seen her in concert (i've seen her 5 times now).. Think she may have been a bit pissed?

Haha for me I don’t she was pissed, I think she just seems to be enjoying the moment? It’s interesting actually because she’s very private and doesn’t always explain meanings behind songs etc but during the intro to Losing Grip I felt she was really opening up and reflecting on her career before she seemed to shut herself up and started singing. I was enjoying listening to her talking though.

Yeah she definitely opened up... this was my wifes first Avril concert, and I told her not to expect much interaction as Avril isn't the best at engagement. She was quite surprised at how good it was.. She's definitely had a good run of the UK!

I loved loved loved tonight! She was so chatty and vocally amazing, but I agree that overall the sound was not loud at all. I was in first row and even there wasn’t loud. However I think she shed a tear at some point.
Also my husband and me were chosen to be on stage, can’t fucking believe it!

Seen her tonight at the castleford bowl. What a venue. Pains me to say that as a scouser. The set was pretty much the same as Glasto apart from smile, when you’re gone and haw. I felt like the gig was longer than you would expect. The venue was good! Phem imo is terrible. I dunno, I expected a bit more I think. Was on such a high from Glasto and that’s watching at home. Slight annoyance was parents having child on shoulders. Couldn’t see a fucking thing but couldn’t complain. One thing I did like was went out before and after gig and lots of bars paying avril. Well done mancs. This is prob lost in our southern and US counter parts… but better then love sux tour last year. I message her as I am 39 today. Nearly same age as her. A Brit born in the 4th July. I message her saying please play NH. She didn’t…

Amazing show today!!!! She was so good at vocals as well and with comunication seen her thirt time but this was best for now she just seems to be more natural. Simple plan good as usually, the same show like in February on Their own concert but it totally make good mood before Avril come. Phem? Wtf was that. Never seen more horrible performance she literally dont wanted be there or she was on drugs or what she better not coming anymore. As well her songs this year was much much worst than last year. She can lipsync in LA
