Avril Lavigne @ The GRAMMY Museum [Sold Out]
In February, pop-rock icon Avril Lavigne‘s sixth studio album Head Above Water was released with the tracks “Head Above Water,” “Tell Me It’s Over,” and “Dumb Blonde” in tow. Though a serious case of Lyme disease left Avril sick for two years, music is how she made it through. “All of a sudden, I have this song concept and all these lyrics,” she told UPROXX earlier this year. “I grabbed my cell phone and I went into Notes, and I was like, ‘God, help me keep my head above the water so that I can breathe, and rescue me.”
