Good news to all Avril Lavigne
fans, as the queen of pop-punk is coming over to bring her much-awaited The Black Star Tour in Manila
Since Day One of her musical
career, Avril has always chosen not to play it safe. When she entered the music
scene at 17, the international superstar refused to resort to skin-baring come-ons, preferring to entice the
record-buying public with her powerhouse voice, high-spirited melodies, and
straight-talking lyrics. Staying steadfastly true to herself and putting music
before image paid off both critically and commercially for the Canadian-born
artist. In 2002, Lavigne shot to global pop stardom with the 6x-platinum Let Go, followed by 2004’s 3x-platinum Under My Skin, and 2007’s platinum The Best Damn Thing. Over the course of
her three albums, Lavigne scored a string of international hit singles,
including Complicated, Sk8er Boi, I’mWith You, Losing Grip, Don’t Tell Me, My Happy Ending, Nobody’s Home, Keep Holding On, Girlfriend,
When You’re Gone, Hot and The Best Damn Thing. She earned eight Grammy
Award nominations, won seven Canadian Juno Awards, and sold more than 30
million albums and nearly 20 million tracks worldwide over the past eight
years. The
singer-songwriter’s songs have been used as soundtracks for such popular films like
“Sweet Home Alabama”, “Bruce Almighty”,
“Legally Blonde 2”, “The Princess Diaries” and “The House Bunny.”
Lavigne
also launched a second career as an entrepreneur by creating a well-received
fashion and lifestyle brand (Abbey Dawn),
two fragrances (Black Star and Forbidden
Rose), branched out into film work (Over
the Hedge, Fast Food Nation), and further committed herself to the
philanthropic activities she’s participated in over the years by establishing The Avril Lavigne Foundation.
With
her multiple creative endeavors and impressive musical success, it’s worth
pointing out that Avril Lavigne is all of 26. She may be young by veteran
performer standards, but she has evolved as a person and as an artist since
releasing The Best Damn Thing.
Lavigne brings the maturity and insight she’s gained from her experiences to
her next labor of love, her fourth and latest album, Goodbye Lullaby, which featured the chart-topping hits, “What The Hell”, “Smile” and “Wish You Were
Here”.
