Avril Lavigne Explains Album Delay
In a letter to fans posted on her website, Avril Lavigne said that her fourth LP has been finished "for a year and now my record company have finally decided to release it. OMG. How nice! Thanks guys." She put the delay down to "bureaucratic BS" and suggested that disagreements with the label have caused the delay: "People do their best work when they are doing what is natural for them, not when you are forcing them to be something that they are not."
