Avril Lavigne: 'Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade performance is full on'

Avril Lavigne has said that she is looking forward to performing at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City on Thursday.

The 'Wish You Were Here' artist will sing live during the event, alongside stars such as Cee Lo Green, Daniel Radcliffe, Mary J Blige and Cobra Starship.

"I'm going to be performing on a float and singing my new single 'Wish You Were Here' and I am planning on being very bundled up," Lavigne told MTV News.

"And I've never performed in a parade before. Actually, I've been in a parade: I used to be a highland dancer in my hometown growing up, so I did stuff like that. I'm singing full on on a float - it's gonna be cool."

Lavigne added that the ambiance in the city is adding to her excitement, saying: "New York right now, it's so pretty, and everyone's super getting into the holiday season, so I'm excited. I'm really happy to be a part of it."

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will air live on major US TV networks from 9/8c on Thursday.

Lavigne and boyfriend Brody Jenner were recently involved in a nightclub attack, resulting in injuries to both of them.

The pair have since reported the assault to police.
