Avril Lavigne has disclosed that Marilyn Manson was the one who encouraged her to shave her head last year.
While spending time with Manson and his band during her visit to France last year, the Canadian singer shared that she made the decision to cut her hair.
“I had contemplated shaving the side of my head for quite a while and would often braid it on that side, which felt somewhat similar,” she described. “During my time in France, while living there, we were backstage hanging out and having drinks with his band, and I suddenly thought, ‘Let’s shave my head. I’m ready; let’s do this!'”
Recently, it was reported that the duo plans to collaborate on a song named ‘Bad Girl’, which is set to be included in Lavigne’s upcoming album, anticipated for release in September. Lavigne previously described it as one of the more “heavy” tracks on the record.
When inquired about how the collaboration originated, she noted: “It was really last minute. I was at the board thinking that Manson would fit perfectly on this track, so I sent him a text and he replied, ‘I’ll come over and hear it.’ He arrived at four in the morning… Yes, it was one of those nights.”
Lavigne’s upcoming single ‘Here’s To Never Growing Up’, co-written with her fiancé Chad Kroeger, is set for release on June 23.
