Avril Lavigne on working with ex-husband

Avril Lavigne has opened up about working with her ex-husband, Deryck Whibley, on her new record. 

The front man of pop-punk band Sum 41 produced six of the tracks of Lavigne's 'Goodbye Lullaby', which is out now, from the studio in the house the couple shared together during their marriage and Whibley explained to Billboard:

"We had a studio in the house that we were living in together, so it was just really simple,"

"A lot of the songs I did were just supposed to be demos, but she's the kind of person where, if she does something once, it's usually her best take and she never wants to do it ever again. It would be just a quick demo but it would turn out really well."        

Lavigne was equally as complimentary about the working relationship, and said of him:

"I think I'm pretty lucky, and I feel really grateful to be able to say that we're like best friends, that we're like family,"

"I hope to work with him in the future. We have a great friendship, great relationship and a lot of respect for each other."
