Lavigne had the best response in the comments about her new cousin. 

“I’ll host Christmas dinner this year,” she wrote. You can see the post below. 

All three stars are Canadian, so it isn’t that surprising that there’s some kind of distant connection, but it is a pretty hilarious revelation. 

More news

Avril Lavigne made a triumphant return to music this year with her sixth record, Head Above Water, but now she’s giving the title track an update with We The Kings‘ Travis Clark.

The track, which was originally co-written with Clark, is made even more heartfelt with the newly added vocal lines.

Lavigne says in a statement that the song, written during her battle with Lyme disease, was a beautiful experience shared between the pair.

“One night when I was starting to feel better, I had a party at my house and somehow Travis was there. I had never met him before. I found him on my piano and I just thought he was so unbelievably talented, and I asked him to finish the song with me.”

The singer continued her statement on the track saying how grateful she is to be able to put her story out into the world.

“I hope that my words in this song and our voices bring you hope faith light and strength and that you also are able to keep your head above the water.”
