Avril Ramona Lavigne, better known only as Avril Lavigne, received a star on the East Hollywood Walk of Fame August while celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album “Let Go”.
With a string of hits including “Sk8er Boi”, “Complicated” and “Girlfriend”, Avril, aged 37 became the number one celebrity 2731 to receive the honor on the sidewalk at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard and hailed the moment as a “dream come true” .
“I mean getting a star today on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is an absolute dream come true, I can’t believe it. I visited LA, Hollywood, for the first time when I was 16 years old,” he told Fox News Digital.
“Never in A million years ago I thought I would have a star, and I feel very blessed and grateful and I am happy to continue making music today”

The public ceremony was attended by Machine Gun Kelly, who told her tour partner that she was “an inspiration for a generation of children” like him.
“Avril: you represent different generations in their stages of childhood and adulthood. You are an inspiration and your songs have accompanied me since before you think, when I was happy or when I suffered for love, “said the real-name rapper Colson Baker.
It should be noted that Lavigne left high school with the goal of making it as a singer and she did: she signed her first recording contract at the age of 16 and has sold 40 millions of albums worldwide.
As if that were not enough, she has been nominated 8 times for the Grammys and the video clip for her song “Girlfriend” was the first to reach 100 million views in the history of the YouTube platform. So it’s only natural that Avril Lavigne is receiving this honor.
