There were some major problems at the London show tonight. Firstly, Avril was late to the London show. She tweeted: I had an unfortunate encounter tonight and apologize for being 30mins late for my show tonight in london. On my way. For security purposes my team had to handle this issue. I am fine Thank u for understanding.
Then things got a little more serious when reviews from the show started to come in. Avril lost her voice and was crying during the show. She had to cut the show short by 5 songs :( She tweeted: -Thank you all so much for making FEEL BETTER AVRIL trend.. I am already feeling better because of all of your support :) - Today was just one of those days -I had a bad situation right before the show that made me scared for my life - then I lost my voice tonight - I feel super sad but I want to thank my fans for understanding and always being there for me. I love u all more then u know xoxoxo
Later on Facebook she made it even more clearer: London, I am so sorry for the disruption tonight in what should have been a celebration of my fans! Shortly before my show tonight, there was a breach in security and now the police are handling. I am so sorry! I have the best fans in the world and thank you for understanding! Love, Avril xoxo

Avril has rescheduled her Japanese tour dates for February 2012. The dates are below. For those wondering about USA dates, Bandaids asked her management and there is currently nothing confirmed (you can count on her doing some dates, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a shorter tour)
4th Feb 2012 - Tokyo Saitama Super Arena 5th Feb 2012 - Tokyo Saitama Super Arena 6th Feb 2012 - Nagoya Gaishi Hall 8th Feb 2012 - Fukuoka Marine Messe 9th Feb 2012 - Osaka Jo Hall
You might remember L.A. Reid, he is the record executive who signed Avril when she was just starting out. L.A has now taken over EPIC Records, and the latest buzz is that Avril is moving from RCA to EPIC. Although we are still waiting official confirmation from Avril and EPIC, signs of "Wish You Were Here" promo point (and point) to an upcoming change.
This is definitely a welcome change, as we can all agree that promo for "Goodbye Lullaby" singles has been very weak.
Here is a picture of some tour merchandise that has been on sale during Avril's European Black Star Tour. Included are numerous t-shirts, a hoodie, tour book, coffee mug, stickers, glowing star, string bags, buttons, bracelets, posters, and more that we can't see in the picture! Check out an HQ photo
According to his Twitter, Evan Taubenfeld (Avril's best friend and former guitarist) said: "So excited to dust off my live chops and spend October opening for my biggest supporter @avrillavigne COME!". This sounds to me that Evan will be the opening act for Avril's Canadian tour next month!!! SO EXCITED!!!
