Simple Plan spent the summer touring the globe, including stops in Asia and Europe, as well as the U.S., where they were one of the highest-drawing acts on the Warped Tour. A July date in Quebec attracted nearly 90,000 fans. They will return to the U.S. for a fall tour beginning in October.
Get Your Heart On!, the Montreal-based band's gold-certified fourth studio album, was released in June and spawned the platinum-certified hit single "Jet Lag" - a duet with Natasha Bedingfield on the English version and Marie-Mai on the French version. The music video for the second single, "Astronaut," premieres today at MuchMusic, MusiquePlus and SimplePlan.com.
