L.A. Reid on Avril Lavigne: "She's a superstar"

L.A. Reid has heaped praise on Avril Lavigne.

The Canadian singer signed to Reid's Epic record label to release her upcoming fifth studio album.

She recently performed single 'Here's To Never Growing Up' on the Today Show and praised Reid before she played.

Speaking to Billboard, the former X Factor USA judge returned the favour by complimenting Lavigne's star quality. He said:

"My relationship with her has been this way since the day I met her, and my guess is that it will always be this way."

Reid added: "She's a superstar. I think she's motivated now, and I expect that she'll do really well."

The music mogul initially signed Lavigne to Arista back in 2000 and she released two albums on the label.
