Two decades since her 2002 debut album Let Go catapulted her to international fame, Avril said she’s always “determined her own life” with her career and isn’t afraid to be herself.

“I’ve always called myself the mother damn princess because I’m my own boss,” she said.

“My outlook hasn’t really changed much, except that I started as a 17-year-old and am now a woman.”

‘But my whole life, music comes first. The music has to be great before everything else matters,” she said

“People are buying fewer albums and streaming more than ever. Social media obviously plays a big part in that and I like to use it when it comes naturally to me. But my whole life, music has come first. The music has to be great before everything else matters.’

Avril also had an inspiring message for her fans: they need to be happy in their own skin and say, ‘you don’t have to be like anyone else to be great’.
