Avril Lavigne tapped into her trademark teenage angst on Wednesday as she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Napanee, Ont.-native became the latest entertainment industry figure to receive a star on a section of sidewalk that runs down Hollywood Boulevard. The career milestone came as the 37-year-old toasted the 20th anniversary of her debut album “Let Go,” which launched her career with the single “Complicated” and the unforgettable hits “Sk8er Boi” and “I’m With You.” Lavigne’s public ceremony was attended by Colson Baker, better known as singer Machine Gun Kelly, who told histour mate that she was “an inspiration to a generation of kids” like him. The pop-punk singer opened her speech by revealing a blown-up photo of her 16-year-old self on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The photo showed the teenage aspiring singer lying on the pavement next to one of the celebrity stars while wearing a hoodie that read ‘skateboarding is not a crime’. The eight-time Grammy nominee said she was channeling “good luck and good vibes” as she slipped into what appeared to be the same sweatshirt. “Today I love making music more than ever. I feel so inspired,” she said, thanking her family and fiancé Derek Smith, who performs as rapper Mod Sun. Lavigne said she hopes her stardom will inspire the next small-town 16-year-old who “comes to Hollywood one day full of hopes and dreams.” “Live your passion. Express yourself,” he continued. “Be real. Work hard. Keep your head up. Believe in yourself.” “Thank you very much for this honor,” she said as she concluded her speech. “I’m so grateful – to party with you afterwards.”
