Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger has revealed he was embarrassed telling his mum that he was engaged to Avril Lavigne.
The pair announced their plans to marry in August 2012, having enjoyed a whirlwind romance after meeting early in 2012. Kroeger, famous for his worldwide hit 'How You Remind Me' has told how difficult it was telling his mother about his plans - as she is such a fan of the 'Sk8er Boi' singer.
"You never know what your parents are going to say when you tell them you're getting married - especially when it's with someone they haven't met yet. My mom is a huge fan of Avril's, so putting her on speakerphone and telling her the news was hilarious and equally embarrassing," reports entertainment website RTE.
"I find [going back home] almost as terrifying as telling your parents you're going to tie the knot. You just never know when someone is going to come out of the woodwork with a story that's starts with, 'Let me tell you about the time...'"
Kroeger proposed to Lavigne with a $350k, 14-carat engagement ring on 8 August 2012.
