An open letter from Avril Lavigne to her fans and the entertainment community
Dear Fans, Friends, and the Entire Entertainment Community:
As I sit down to write, I am overcome with gratitude and emotion. Looking back on this fantastic journey, I realise that it would not have been possible without your unfailing love and support, as well as the creative space you’ve provided for me to grow and expand as an artist.
To my fans, you are the lifeblood of my music. From the minute I launched my first song to where we are now, your enthusiasm has powered every move. You’ve supported me through the highs, lows, and reinventions. Whether you’ve been listening to my music since the beginning or have only lately joined me, your support is greatly appreciated. I have seen your messages, cover performances, and personal anecdotes about how my music has impacted your lives. That connection is what inspires me to continue producing.
Thank you to my fellow artists, industry professionals, and the entire entertainment community for supporting me, believing in my vision, and creating an environment conducive to creation. The music industry isn’t always simple, but I’ve been extremely fortunate to work with people who push the frontiers of art and sound, value authenticity, and appreciate individuality. I’m grateful to every producer, songwriter, musician, and mentor who helped shape my sound and career.
The past year has been nothing short of wonderful. I’ve had the opportunity to release new music, perform around the world, and reconnect with many of you in ways that remind me why I began this adventure in the first place. The stage is my home, and sharing those moments with you has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
I promise to keep moving forward, to continue making music that touches the heart, and to remain faithful to the spirit that brought us all together in the first place. Thank you for your love and energy, and for letting me live this dream every day.
With all of my love and gratitude.
Avril
