Mod Sun has broken his silence after Avril Lavigne confirmed the end of their engagement – without telling him first.
The 35-year-old musician admitted that he was blindsided by the news after Avril's reps confirmed the split to Page Six on Tuesday. According to reports, the couple has parted ways after being "on and off" for the past couple of months. However, Mod revealed that the break-up has come as a surprise to him.

"They were together and engaged as of three days ago when he left for tour so if anything has changed that's news to him," a spokesperson for the Flames hitmaker told Page Six.
Despite the news, he has no plans to let his heartbreak interrupt his current tour. "The show will happen tonight and tomorrow and for the rest of the tour," his rep added.

The couple were last seen together in public at a pre-Grammys party earlier this month. They announced their engagement last April after the performer got down on one knee during a romantic trip to Paris.
"Oui! Je t'aime pour toujours Dimanche. 27. Mars. 2022," Avril captioned a post of the proposal which in English reads: "Yes I will love you forever, Sunday March 27. 2022."

The two musicians are thought to have been together since November 2020 but didn't make their relationship official until 2021, when they collaborated on the song Flames from Mod's record.
