Avril Lavigne flaunts $80,000 diamond chain from Tyga ahead of gig

Avril Lavigne rocked to her sold-out performance at the Manchester Apollo on Saturday wearing the breathtaking $80,000 diamond necklace gifted to her by her boyfriend, rapper Tyga.

Singer Avril, 38, was seen wearing the statement pendant bearing her name from jeweler Eric Mavani, with the massive chain featuring a whopping 50 carats of white diamonds, black diamonds and pink sapphires.

In addition to her name, it features the letter “A,” skulls, and an engraving that reads, “Made for Avril Lavigne” on a label on the back.

Pop star Avril was due to perform this weekend after postponing her UK and European tour to this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, after the shows were originally scheduled for 2020.

She showed off her edgy sense of style as she arrived at the Manchester venue, sporting a chunky pair of £1,230 VETEMENTS x New Rock platform boots that she paired with a pair of £165 sheer black tights from the brand.

The hitmaker wore a black T-shirt dress with an orange logo on the front and her name on the arm in the same color.

She wore a lot of makeup and opted for her signature look of heavy black eyeliner.

Avril confirmed in March that she had moved on with rapper Tyga, following her split from fiancé Mod Sun.

Avril and Mod Sun got engaged during a March 2022 trip to Paris.

Despite the reported problems in their relationship, a Mod Sun rep described the split as if it came out of the blue, claiming that Avril ended things while he was away after starting his current tour.

“They were together and engaged three days ago when he went on tour, so if anything has changed, it’s news to him,” they claimed at the time.

Avril was spotted having a fun night out with the rapper Tyga just as the news broke, though they were reportedly friends for some time.

Avril and Tyga seemed to cement their romance days later when they shared a kiss at the Mugler x Hunter Schafer Party during Paris Fashion Week.

The pair pursed lips and hugged each other as he wrapped his arms around her.

The couple looked more loved than ever as they posed for photos together.

It came after she arrived at an event days earlier in a blacked-out passenger car and made no attempt to hide her closeness with Tyga when they climbed out within seconds of each other.

Tyga and Avril were surrounded by security as they entered the building together, with a video showing their team trying to avoid being filmed.

Avril prepared to perform in Manchester this weekend after postponing her UK and European tour due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Bite Me star was originally set to play the shows in 2020 and postponed the run to 2021, before moving them back to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Unfortunately for fans, they had to wait longer as the pop punk icon has been forced to reschedule the concerts for a third time due to “country-to-country travel and venue restrictions” making it “impossible” to go ahead as planned.

In a lengthy statement, the Nobody’s Home singer wrote: “To my fans in Europe and the UK I have some unfortunate news to share with you about my UK and European dates.

“I have to make the difficult decision to postpone this tour until 2023.

“Due to the ongoing issues surrounding the pandemic, there are a range of travel and location restrictions from country to country that have prevented the tour from going ahead.”

Avril concluded, ‘It’s not an easy decision, but it’s one that will ensure we can play every date of the tour, put on the best possible show at full capacity and operate in a safe environment.

“It really breaks my heart to have to do this, but I know it will be worth the wait.”
