Ottawa extra special for Lavigne

Performing onstage at the Corel Centre in Ottawa, Canada is always extra special for Avril Lavigne - because that's where she first realised she wanted to become a pop star.

The Complicated singer entered a singing contest when she was just 14 and won the chance to perform with Shania Twain at the venue.

The night was so magical for the pop punk she vowed to one day get back on the Corel Centre stage.

She tells Jane magazine: "It's, like, this massive venue, an arena, and then, like, three years later I get a record deal and I'm singing there, sold out!

"It was crazy, because I remember walking onstage and being like: 'I want this so bad.' Just seeing all those people. Now, every time I do my tour there, I'm so grateful."
