This was so sweet, I had to post.

For the 4th time, Avril Lavigne rocks Manila
MANILA, Philippines—It was Avril Lavigne’s fourth tour in Manila but nothing’s changed and she stayed youthful as ever—except she performed onstage with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger, her new husband.
The Grammy award-winning Canadian pop-punk sensation came back to the Philippines to once again rock the Smart Araneta Coliseum Monday night in celebration of her fifth studio album.
Kept a mystery to all Black Stars, as Lavigne fondly calls her fans, Kroeger did not join her in the stage until suddenly a raspy male voice dominated her tunes.
Donning a plain black top and pants, the 38-year-old Nickelback vocalist humbly entered the scene, welcomed by a brief yet warm hug by his rock star wife.
From her self-titled album released last year, the Canadian couple then belted together to Lavigne’s latest single, “Let Me Go.”
Before parting onstage, Kroeger lauded the star of the night soon as they sang the last notes of the song, saying “Ladies and gentlemen, Avril Lavigne!”
In turn, the 29-year-old Lavigne gave her husband another hug and sheepishly uttered, “Bye, hubby.”
Lavigne and Kroeger tied the knot sometime July last year but kept it a secret to the public.
The May-December relationship was preceded by the divorce of Lavigne, then 25, with rock band Sum 41 lead Deryck Whibley after three years of marriage.
Forever young
At exactly an hour after the starting time at 8 p.m., lights dimmed as a video clip voiced by Lavigne herself played, officially kicking off the pop punk princess’ 2014 Manila tour.
Spruced up in an all-black blazer and tutu skirt embellished with Hello Kitty brooches, Lavigne emerged on stage and sang to one of her newest tracks, “Hello Kitty,” followed by her hit, “Girlfriend” while holding an all-glittered pink microphone.
