Avril Lavigne has revealed that her forthcoming new album will feature a cameo from Marilyn Manson.

The Canadian pop-rocker is set to unleash the follow-up to 2011's 'Goodbye Lullably' later this year, following on from new single 'Here's To Never Growing Up'.

Lavigne shared some details about her new album with Billboard, teasing a wide-ranging sound and a collaboration with US shock-rocker Marilyn Manson. She said:

"The record's really diverse. We've got these pop-rock tunes, and then these piano ballads with orchestras."

The 'Sk8er Boi' star added: "I have a heavier song that Marilyn Manson's on called 'Bad Girl', and then I've got a song called 'Hello Kitty' that sounds like nothing I've done before. 'Here's To Never Growing Up' is one of the rock tunes on it, but it's all over the place."
