Mod shared this sweet snap

The birthday honor came a month after the star was overcome with emotion when she received a Walk of Fame star in Hollywood.

Avril's fiance Mod Sun was there cheering her on, and posed for pictures with the 37-year-old who wore a punk red plaid suit with a black leather harness, before she changed into her high school hoodie which read "skateboarding is not a crime"; it was the same hoodie she wore 21 years ago when she first visited the iconic street.

Avril has made an incredible comeback in recent years, and earlier in 2022 celebrated the 20th anniversary of her debut album Let Go.

The singer shared the cover of the 2002 album, featuring Avril wearing her best early aughts grunge outfit along with a lengthy, heartfelt tribute to the album and everyone who made it possible.
