Ringo Says Fuck Off 6: Avril Lavigne
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 12 December 2008
Yes, it’s Friday, which means it’s time for our very-much-regular-now new column, Ringo Says Fuck Off, in which you tell us about the times you were told to fuck off by pop stars. This week we have a little lady who also told her management to fuck off this week.
A reader writes: “I was told to fuck off by Avril Lavigne. Or rather, Avril Lavigne had her bodyguard tell me to fuck off. What a star”.
“A few years ago I went backstage after an Avril Lavigne show at Wembley, with my boyfriend who worked for her label. We joined the after party for label staff and the bands, and had a nice chat with the very friendly Simple Plan, who were supporting”.
“Avril arrived after a while, and as my boyfriend had been involved in the recent album release, we thought we’d pop over and congratulate her on a show well done. As we moved over towards Avril and waited for her to finish speaking to someone, she turned to a big burly bloke nearby and pointed at us. He promptly came over to inform us ‘you’re standing too close to Avril – move back NOW. She won’t be speaking to you this evening’. Bitch”.
“Simple Plan had decided she was a bitch too, so we had a good laugh whilst they secretly helped fans over the fence and in through the back door until she was so surrounded by screaming nutters that she had to leave. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to get that traumatic experience off my chest!”
