In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the "Girlfriend" performer reflected on working with "Hot in the City" artist and called him a "true legend." She also noted she has a collaboration with Bon Jovi on their forthcoming record Forever (Legendary Edition) due Oct. 24.
"It's incredible to collaborate with legends across the rock genre. As I continue to work on what's next, I definitely look forward to branching out with different people," says Lavigne.

Lavigne previously covered her 1980 classic "Bad Reputation" on The Best Damn Tour and then recorded it as a bonus track for her 2011 album Goodbye Lullaby.
Earlier this month, Lavigne exclusively announced her first official wine, "Banshee Complicated" with Banshee Wines, with PEOPLE.
The $30 limited-edition, small-batch pinot noir — named after her 2002 breakout single "Complicated" — is light and layered with bright notes of cherry and raspberry.
According to Lavigne, a two-year collaboration with Banshee, beginning with her Greatest Hits Tour, led to this moment since "the Banshee bar became a staple backstage and at my afterparties."
"Our partnership is so natural, and as my love for wine has grown over the years, I knew they were the brand I wanted to collaborate with to launch my first official wine," she told PEOPLE.
