Stevo: Avril And Deryck’s Marriage Not An Issue For Sum 41

In an interview with Time Off magazine, Sum 41 drummer Steve Jocz insisted that his bandmate Deryck Whibley’s marriage to Avril Lavigne hasn’t had a detrimental effect on the band in any way. “To be honest I think they’re good at not turning it into an issue,” he explained. “I mean, I’m happy that Deryck’s happy and in love. If she was a coalminer, I’d be happy – she could be a rockstar, or she could be anything else, it’s fine. This is just something that is obviously going to be focused on and I think they handle it very well. I don’t necessarily think it’s that bad because they don’t turn it into a circus.” The article at timeoff.com.au has since been removed.
