#SPOTTED: AVRIL LAVIGNE IN TORONTO FOR “HERE’S TO NEVER GROWING UP”

Canadian Megastar Avril Lavigne is back in town to promote her brand new Single, Here’s To Never Growing Up.  Lavigne beat her Fans to the punch, getting to her first appearance of the day before 7:00 AM. After a quick touch-up by her Make-up Artist upon existing her Suburban, she donned her famous Aviators looking Military-chic, to pose for some Photos.  Although quiet, she actually is really, really nice and after trying for the past 10 years, finally I got my Snap with her and even Billy was a part of the fun!

On the itinerary this morning were to back-to-back Interviews at KISS 92.5‘s The Roz & Mocha Show and 98.1 CHFI.   Catching wind of her appearance just in time, Fans arrived catching the Singer/Songwriter/Fashion Designer and Actress who not only has sold over 30 million Albums, but also 50 million Singles in her eleven-year Career.

Lavigne arrived this weekend from Los Angeles with soon-to-be Husband Chad Kroeger, Frontman of Nickelback and today she was sporting proudly her 14-carat Diamong Ring while doing Press.  Later today she will make a highly-publicized visit to MuchMusic‘s New.Music.Live, inviting Fans  on Twitter  to come down to see her at 6:00 PM, when she is expected to greet Fans by the window.

Here’s to Never Growing Up (co-written with Kroeger) continues to climb the charts and already is at number 17 on the Canadian Hot 100, while in the U.S. the Track is at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The Singer’s still-untitled fifth Studio Disc is due this September via Sony Music Canada and a second Single already has been slated, titled Rock and Roll. It is said that Lavigne was courting a famous Female Vocalist to collaborate on the Track.

Just last month, Lavigne was voted one of Canada’s 50 Most Beautiful People as per Hello! Canada. More on that here.

Lavigne also was just announced to perform at the 2013 MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday, June 16, 2013 here in Toronto!

#NEWMUSIC: AVRIL LAVIGNE – “HERE’S TO NEVER GROWING UP”

After a tease three weeks ago, Avril Lavigne unleashes her new Single Here’s to Never Growing Up from her as-yet-untitled fifth Studio Disc from Sony Music. The Track, produced by Martin Johnson of Boys Like Girls is sonically a bit along the lines of Taylor Swift‘s We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Sounds an awful lot like Spring, yes?

Growing-up perhaps a bit too much on her last Disc Goodbye Lullaby, Lavigne has some fun again here, revealing that the upcoming Disc will be the complete opposite of that mellow 2010 Effort.

Inviting Fans to participate on the fun by uploading clips of themselves, the Lyric Video for the Track also has just surfaced below:

#NEWMUSIC: AVRIL LAVIGNE – “NEVER GROWING UP” | BE A PART OF THE LYRIC VIDEO

I don’t care what anyone says, but I’ve always been a Fan of Avril Lavigne and nothing anyone says will change this.   A Snippet of her new Track, Never Growing Up was just unveiled today and the Canadian Princess of Punk-Pop is inviting Fans to be a part of the Lyric Video for the Track by uploading clips of themselves “never growing up”.

Upon initial listen, the Track is making me have a major Taylor Swift moment.  The parallels to We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together are apparent, but that Track in itself sounds like signature Avril Lavigne.

You too can be a part of the fun and hear a clip of Never Growing Up right here.

Sony Music  Canada releases Never Growing Up on Tuesday, April 9, 2013.
