Avril Lavigne’s In No Hurry To Release Third Album

While on tour, Avril Lavigne admits she has penned only a few lyrics for her next album, instead wanting to take her time, making sure she doesn’t burnout. “I see people that have been around for a while, and I can really appreciate their staying power,” she tells Marc Weingarten of the Los Angeles Times. “Look at Green Day. They waited five years to come out with a record, and it’s a smash hit. Or Madonna, who’s a mother now but still a vital artist. I really respect that ability to sustain a career over a long period of time.”
