Avril Lavigne: Life in pictures

Music

In 1999, Avril sang with Shania Twain before getting discovered while singing at an Ontario bookstore.

Avril's arsenal of hum-able hits includes "Complicated," "Sk8er Boi" and "Girlfriend." They re poppy with a pinch of irreverence, which makes them ideal to rock out to. (In private, of course.)

Avril's three albums, "Let Go" (2002), "Under My Skin" (2004) and "The Best Damn Thing" (2007) have all been tremendously successful.
