Pop star Avril Lavigne outraged fans of baseball’s Tampa Bay Rays last week when she launched into a profanity-laced tirade during a post-game concert, said the New York Daily News. The singer, 26, let loose with several F-bombs when her microphone malfunctioned during the performance, attended by numerous families and children. A Rays spokesman said the team was “extremely disappointed” by Lavigne’s use of profanity.
