Avril Lavigne has reportedly fired her manager in a bid to improve her record sales.
The Canadian singer's last album, The Best Damn Thing sold around 5.4 million copies worldwide, which was a significant drop from the 8 million copies that previous offering Under My Skin shifted.
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton revealed that Lavigne has now ditched long-time manager Terry McBride in an attempt to boost her career prospects.
A source is quoted as saying: "Avril is hoping that new management can help her new album be more successful than the last."
Lavigne has apparently hired Irving Azoff , whose management company's clients include Christina Aguilera, the Eagles and Guns N' Roses.
All albums sales are declining these days, I sadly think that this one won't sell even as good as TBDT.
I can't wait to hear new stuff from her, I want a first single soon!
