Avril Lavigne has denied rumors she snubbed an award at a recent ceremony, saying she didn’t acknowledge it. The singer was believed to attend Canada's annual Napanee Multicultural Festival in her home town of Napanee on Saturday (June 20). But she never showed up. She posted a note on her MySpace, "Avril was not committed to attend the Napanee Ontario Multicultural Festival. Her management had no knowledge of this event.” It follows, "She appreciates the honor, however to say that she 'flaked and didn't show up' is completely untrue, as she had no knowledge of this event whatsoever. Avril is currently in the U.S. working on her 4th album."
Not much has been going on with Avril recently, but she did announce that she fired her management firm after The Best Damn Thing only sold around half of what her previous album did. Also, her tour didn’t sell as many tickets as planned. Avril hired Irving Azoff as her new manager.
A source says, “Avril is hoping that new management can help her new album be more successful than the last.”
