Avril Ramona Lavigne was

born on 27 September, 1984

in Canada. She is now a famous

rock star and award winning

singer-songwriter. Although her

surname is of French origin, she

does not speak French and her

name is pronounced in an

anglicized way. She has a star

tattooed on the inside of her left

wrist. She started singing when

she was very young and she also

taught herself how to play the

guitar. Her first album was

released in 2002 and became

number one in Australia,

Canada, and the UK. Her single,

Sk8er Boi, reached the top ten.

She moved to California and

married Deryck Whibley in 2006.

The lyrics on the right are part of

the song, Who Knows? that she

performed at the Winter

Olympics closing ceremony

in Turin 2006 to announce

Canada’s Olympics in 2010.

I think there’s something more,

life’s worth living for

Who knows what could happen

Do what you do, just keep on

laughingOne thing’s true, there’s always a

brand new dayI’m gonna live today like it’s my

last day
