Avril Lavigne Freaked Out Over Metallica’s mtvICON Offer

Avril Lavigne, interviewed before the ‘mtvICON: Metallica’ special was filmed, said she was “freaked out” when she heard that Metallica wanted her to cover ‘Fuel.’ “I was like, ‘They know who I am?” Lavinge said. “I had to learn to sing really harsh for it. They have a lot of screaming on that song. We’ve been practicing every day in sound check. We don’t want to look bad in front of them.”
