Washington [US]Sep 1 (ANI): Singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday and expressed her happiness at the event.
The Canadian singer-songwriter exclusively told Fox News Digital that when she began her music career at the age of 16, she never thought she would be presented with the award. When she was a teenager and dropped out of high school to pursue a career as a singer, she recalled her first trip to the famous Boulevard.
In the sweatshirt she wore during the ceremony, Lavigne had brought a picture of herself from that trip. “I mean getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today is like a dream come true, I can’t believe it. I first visited LA, Hollywood, when I was 16, and this I’m photographed here on that trip. I was wearing this hoodie, which was my favorite hoodie in high school,” she said. “Never in a million years did I think I’d have a star, and I’m very I feel blessed and grateful and I am still happy to make music today.”
While chatting with Fox News Digital about the ceremony, her friend and fellow singer Machine Gun Kelly couldn’t help but appreciate her. He said he still aims to create music that has the same impact on listeners as his songs.
She also lauded Lavigne’s dedication to keeping it real with her fans, saying she never does a show and is always her authentic self. ,[She is] Far beyond an image and truly a rock star,” he shared.
“Those songs have been in my life since I even had hair on my hands. Just thinking about the fact that he wrote those songs at the age of 17, which is why I am trying to write songs at the age of 30,” he said. “It’s so fitting. To get stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame you want to imagine someone who comes to the City of Dreams and makes it happen.”
According to Fox News, Lavigne also talked about being able to recognize Shania Twain, a legend of country music, at the recent ACM Honors. When she was just 14, she reflected on how wonderful it was to perform with Mark Twain and how that performance helped her advance in her profession.
“I was just at the ACM Honors. I just honored Shania Twain with the Poet Award and performed her song ‘No One Needs to Know,'” Lavigne said. “I sang with him on stage when I was 14. I won a contest through a local radio station to sing with him. Of course, it was very helpful and it created buzz all around me.”
At the age of 16, Lavigne earned a recording deal with Arista Records for two albums. The best-selling record of the twenty-first century by a Canadian artist is Let Go, his debut studio album, released in 2002. (ANI)
