Avril Lavigne 'scared for her life' before London gig

Avril Lavigne was forced to cut her set short after losing her voice during her London concert date.

The singer arrived on stage 40 minutes late to last night's 'Black Star' tour date at the Hammersmith Apollo following "mechanical difficulties". Her voice then cracked during closing song 'Complicated', leaving the crowd to sing the track.

Lavigne later tweeted that she was having "one of those days", adding: "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."

She later confirmed on her Facebook page that a "security breach" delayed her arrival, adding: "Shortly before my show tonight, there was a breach in security and now the police are handling [it]".

Lavigne played 14 of her hits during the show, including 'Sk8ter Boy', 'Girlfriend' and 'I'm With You'. She also covered 'Fix You' by Coldplay, who she described as "one of my favourite bands of all time".

She is due to play her second London date this evening before a single date at Manchester's O2 Apollo.
