Because it can be done, I know it can be done, ”she said.

In turn, Feldmann commented, “Avril told me her first stage immersion was at the age of 15 at my band Goldfinger concert in Toronto, and she was kicked out of the show for jumping on stage. So what an epic friendship we have! ” Feldmann said.

“While recording I love Sux -Lavigne’s recent new album- came every day and asked me, ‘Do you have a gift for me?’, And that meant if I had a riff or idea for a song … It makes me feel important, valuable, needed. That’s how Avril makes you feel when you’re in the recording studio with her. “
