Avril Lavigne can’t wait to get back out there

Avril Lavigne is looking forward to getting her career back on track.

Her new album Goodbye Lullaby will be out next year, after a break from music.

“I’ve been really anxious just to get back out there and to sing and to tour, so I know that the fans were all really waiting, being super supportive, and I really appreciate that,” she said.

“You know a lot of people run into complications with their record companies sometimes where they have their vision, but I’ve always had my own vision for my music and I put my foot down, and you know, had to be strong about that, and overall I made the record that I wanted to make, so I’m very happy with it and very excited to finally be putting it out.”

“Four years ago, the [last] record came out, and for two years I was on the road, so maybe people don’t understand that — a year of promotion, a full year of touring, and then I’ve been home for two years, working on the record and the clothing line and the foundation and the fragrances, so I’ve been really busy but it’s … yes! The first time I’ve ever been home for two years, ever.”

“I’m so excited to do the tour, because I’ve been at home focusing on the studio stuff, the foundation, the clothing line, and I just love to sing and get up on stage and see the fans so I’m ready to get back out there.”
