Chad Robert Kroeger (/ˈkruːɡər/,[4] né Turton; born November 15, 1974) is a Canadian musician who is the lead singer and guitarist of the rock band Nickelback.[5] In addition to his work with Nickelback, Kroeger has been involved with a variety of collaborations, appearing as a guest musician in several songs and has contributed in both production and songwriting. He has co-written several songs for other artists and films. In the early 1990s, Kroeger was part of a grunge cover band, Village Idiot, with his cousin Brandon Kroeger and future Nickelback members bassist Mike Kroeger (his half-brother)[12] and singer Ryan Peake. In 1995, Kroeger, Peake, Mike Kroeger, and then-drummer Brandon Kroeger,[13] formed the band Nickelback. Kroeger has continued to record and tour with this band for more than 25 years. In 2008, Kroeger was convicted of drunk driving in a British Columbia court after he was stopped for speeding in Surrey.[7][21] Kroeger started dating Canadian singer Avril Lavigne on July 1, 2012.[22] The relationship started after they began working together in March 2012 to write and record music for Lavigne's fifth album.[22] Kroeger and Lavigne became engaged in August 2012.[23] They married in the south of France on July 1, 2013, which is Canada Day.[22] Lavigne and Kroeger honeymooned in Portofino, Italy. In September 2014, the entertainment media began reporting that Lavigne and Kroeger were headed for separation after a year of marriage.[24] On September 2, 2015, Lavigne announced their separation via her official Instagram account.[25] In 2015, the second leg of the band's North American tour had to be cancelled so Kroeger could have surgery for a cyst on his larynx. The entire leg of the European tour was cancelled as well.[26][27]
