Pierre Bouvier’s wife Lachelle published a video on her Instagram yesterday, which was filmed at the Alternative Press Music Awards in 2015. In the video, you can see Lachelle, David Desrosiers and Mike Herrera from MXPX singing along to Weezer’s ‘Buddy Holly’ and very much enjoying themselves.

While the name of the Filipino singer, Jake Zyrus, who rose to fame through YouTube in 2007, may not ring a bell to you at first, his original name Charice Pempengco, which he used until his gender transition to male, may.
Zyrus was first discovered as a talented singer by Ellen Degeneres in 2007, 10 years before his transition. Since then, he’s received a large exposure on various media channels, including TV, where he appeared in the role of a Philippino foreign exchange student called Sunshine Corazon in the second season of the TV series Glee [watch a preview here].
As he officially changed his name to Jake Zyrus this summer, his first ever concert under his new name took place only very recently – on October 6th. Besides a number of his own songs, Jake also performed a cover of Simple Plan’s song ‘Perfect’. As a solo artist, this version of the song is vastly different from what we’re used to – so make sure to check it out below and let us know how you like it:
As we’ve informed you a couple weeks ago, UMusic took the members of the band The Vamps out for vinyl record shopping spree and one of vinyls that the members chose to buy was Simple Plan’s debut album ‘No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls’, which coincidentally also celebrates its 15th anniversary this year.
This time around, UMusic also released a video from this shopping spree, which features SP’s record a number of times in the clip. The record was picked up by the band’s bassist, Connor Ball, who addmitted he’s been listening to Simple Plan ever since he was about 11 years old. Check out the full video below:
The band just released a new video shout-out, which Pierre, Chuck, Jeff and Seb pre-recorded a couple days ago. In it, the band members invite all their Mexican fans for their upcoming shows in this country, which are coming up in November. They also officially addressed the recently revealed pre-show pizza parties, which are now available for selected dates [read more about them here].

When in Montreal, Pierre Bouvier could not miss an appearance on his friend’s Patrick Langlois’ TV program La Belle Gang [see a photo from his appearance here]. In this interview, Pierre discussed the band’s tour for the 15th anniversary of their first record, him being a father and also about the coffee club called ‘Ok Cafêï’ that Pierre, Sebastien and Chady started on tour a couple months ago, which has since turned into an inside joke.
If you’d like to watch the entire interview in French, you can do so below – here on SimplePlan.cz we’d like to highlight the coffee club question, as that has been on many fans’ minds for a while now. Emily translated that part of the interview for us, so you can now check it out in English below:
The three of us, we like to have coffee together, so we’d have an inside joke where we’d say: ‘ok cafêï’. The other band members thought we were ridiculous, and one day we were in Columbus, OH, and we saw a shop where you can create your own t-shirt in 30 minutes. We thought they would perhaps find us even more ridiculous with shirts… And when we got back, they asked: ‘Where did you get those t-shirts?’
