Avril Lavigne Talks With Billboard

Avril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne sat down to talk with Billboard:

After cranking her cover of favorite Nickelback song “How You Remind Me,” Lavigne searches YouTube for her and Whibley’s performance of Sum 41’s “In Too Deep.” “What a great song, right?” asks Lavigne.
