YUNGBLUD teamed up with "emo queen" Avril Lavigne during last night's star-studded benefit livestream celebrating the one-year anniversary of The YUNGBLUD Show.

Dom and Avril performed a duet of the Canadian star's 2002 ballad I'm With You (taken from her debut album Let Go). Before the song, YUNGBLUD excitedly introduced her by admitting, "I can’t believe I’m even fucking saying this!"

He later tweeted: "BEST DAY OF MY FUCKIN LIFE! Thank you for everything, you have my heart forever!!! Mad love Avril Lavigne for coming out u fookin rock'n'roll star."

Marking the anniversary of his first livestream show last year, YUNGBLUD explained, "This was a monumental moment in my career. It became bigger than any of us ever anticipated. I’m craving to get back onstage every single day and can’t wait to do this with some incredible guests.

"It’s been so hard for independent venues," he continued. "I wanted to partner with NIVA because independent venues are the backbone of the music industry and give young artists the chance to have their music heard. Everyone has been missing a rock’n’roll show, I think it’s about time we gave them one!"
