Avril Lavigne Celebrates 20 Years Of 'Let Go'

On Saturday afternoon, the “Hello Kitty” singer took to Instagram to thank her followers for more than twenty years of support.

“Today marks 20 years since I released my album ‘Let Go’,” she began. “I will never be able to fully explain not only how much this album meant to me, but the monumental impact it has had on my life.”

“It’s hard to try and comprehend how, 20 years later, the songs I wrote as a 17 year old would still resonate with people today,” she continued. “It’s pretty crazy. It put me on a path and took me places I never in my wildest dreams could have ever expected and I am thankful for it every single day.”

“None of this would have been possible without the help and guidance of LA Reid, Lauren Christy, The Matrix, Cliff Magness, Curt Frasca, and Sabelle Beer,” she went on. “I will always be grateful to you guys for letting me be myself. Also a massive thank you to everyone who played a role, big or small, in helping make this record the success that it was.”

“Last but certainly not least, thank YOU, to every single one of you who made a connection with this album and stayed with me since. 

I say every night on stage how lucky I feel to be making music, touring and having as much fun as I do,” she continued. “I share this moment with all of you, because without you guys, these songs wouldn’t have reached the heights that they did. A genuine, heartfelt thank you to anyone that ever listened to my music and stuck around.”
