Avril Lavigne: what the singer looks like now after overcoming a serious illness. Avril Lavigne has Lyme disease Avril Lavigne disease

There are rumors that the popular one has left this world and a double is performing alongside her. The singer herself denied her death... citing Foreign Media.

Lost sight due to illness

As JoeInfoMedia journalist Ulyana Ulitkina found out, the previously popular Canadian singer really disappeared from view a long time ago. She is all over the world, does not go to social events and does not give candid interviews. Many had already forgotten about her, but now she has reappeared in public.

Alive and enjoying her personal life

Just over the past week, the ubiquitous paparazzi were able to capture Avril in the company of her boyfriend, music producer Jonathan Rotem. The couple was spotted leaving a restaurant in Los Angeles, reports JoeInfoMedia journalist Ulyana Ulitkina.

It is worth saying that the singer looks great. She abandoned the "tomboy" style and became more feminine. The singer's clothing style also changed - she replaced short checkered skirts with a dress.

Note that rumors of death also stun the singer herself. In one of the interviews, she said with indignation that someone was doing PR at her expense.

“This theory is just the ravings of a madman! I'm not dead, and you can see it for yourself. Whoever came up with this just wants popularity!” - said Avril Lavigne.

We previously reported that and . They are sure that her double is performing instead of the singer.

On September 27, the singer turns 34 years old. We say this without an exclamation point, because the star does not like noise around his name and prefers to spend his birthday either at work or with his family. Today Avril is completely far from her former romantic image: life has taught her wisdom and the ability to understand people.

Fame, fame, huge fees, her favorite job - she had everything a young girl dreams of. For complete happiness, all that was needed was passionate and all-consuming love. And it seemed that Avril Lavigne had only to beckon with a gentle finger, and princes of all stripes would come running to offer their hand and heart. A talented singer who tried her hand at cinema, a bright and catchy blonde with an excellent figure, men could not help but like her. However, the Canadian rock star herself was not against improving her personal life. The eternal romance with the guitar, which began in my reckless youth, is quite boring. Music is music, and Avril wanted to experience a great and bright feeling. But she, religiously and zealously observing her strict mother’s commandments to never impose herself on guys and under no circumstances to be the first to call on the phone, waited for her betrothed. And he was always there.

Derek Whibley, the frontman of the group Sum 41, who has long been in the shadow of his star friend, who is gaining creative fame, once dared to confess his love to her. It was unexpected, but pleasant. Only later Avril saw in this guy, in her opinion, an extraordinary person.

The meeting with Derek changed the singer’s life. Her songs became lyrical, touching the soul. And, by the way, Avril no longer wore ripped jeans - only fashionable outfits sat well on her figure. In the meantime, things were moving towards the wedding, and on June 5, 2006, the wedding of the newlyweds took place. Derek said the words of the oath with excitement. The bride was in tears from the overwhelming feelings. The beautiful couple was destined for a long and married life, but the marriage cracked within the first year.

Avril Lavigne, riding the waves of musical fame, stayed on tour, traveling around the world, while Derek Whibley sat at home. His group was experiencing another creative crisis - and he was idle, tormented by failures and secretly jealous of his successful wife. The huge mansion, which Avril had planned to turn into a studio, was now filled with Derek's friends every evening. Naturally, during the parties, Whibley made pretty girlfriends and no longer remembered the oath of allegiance to his star wife. The ubiquitous journalists on the pages of yellow publications reminded Avril of his affairs. When the singer called Derek about this, he clumsily made excuses. The divorce, as expected, passed quietly and peacefully. Avril left her ex-husband a huge mansion and said goodbye to him in a friendly manner.

In love, to her great sadness, she had little luck. Attuned to deep reciprocal feelings, Avril ultimately only experienced the bitterness of disappointment. However, the Canadian had a strong character and inexhaustible optimism: it was not for nothing that she played in the men’s hockey team in her youth! And soon a ray of hope for true love, which is not afraid of any obstacles, appeared on the horizon of her life.

Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger was ten years older than Avril. But it was precisely this circumstance that appealed to the star singer: after all, she wanted to someday lean on the shoulder of an experienced and mature person. Events developed with amazing speed. With each meeting between Avril and Chad, the mutual feeling of love flared up, until at one moment they suddenly realized that they could not live without each other.

The appointed wedding took place in the Gothic style. And, I must admit, in the opinion of relatives, with a certain amount of mysticism and as if foreshadowing imminent separation and misfortune. The bride's black dress, black bouquet and even a birthday cake made of black cream evoked a certain melancholy. However, despite everything, the faces of the young people shone with genuine happiness and love.

And trouble was already on the threshold of Avril’s house and knocking on the door. In 2014, severe Lyme disease suddenly fell on her fragile shoulders. A single tick bite almost cost the singer her life. Bedridden for six months, she courageously fought against a terrible illness. Avril's fans wondered for a long time where their favorite had disappeared. Evil tongues said that she was being treated for alcohol and drug addiction. This was also indicated by the photos in which Avril left the medical center. She was indeed being treated, but not for addiction at all, but for the deadly Lyme disease. This is an infectious disease transmitted by ticks. Symptoms are severe: fever, chronic weakness, damage to the visual, nervous, and cardiovascular systems, a characteristic rash. Doctors could not diagnose the singer for a long time; they blamed everything on her fatigue and workload. And the disease progressed. Avril was forced to prove to doctors for two months that she was really sick.

“Anti Britney” (meaning Britney Spears - Ed.) - this is what Avril Lavigne was called at the beginning of her musical career. On Thursday, September 27, the youth idol of the 2000s celebrates his 34th birthday.

I haven't heard anything about her lately. We decided to find out where the singer is now and what she is doing.

The girl who grew up too quickly

Avril was only 16 when American music producer L.A. Reed offered her a contract.

In 2002, Avril Lavigne woke up famous

Lavigne received an advance of $900 thousand to record a studio album. The total contract amount was 1 million 250 thousand US dollars.

Avril dropped out of school for her career. Two years later, the whole world was singing her songs.

Her first album sold 16 million copies

Avril style

In addition, Lavigne attracted attention with her unique style: disheveled hair, wrinkled T-shirts, baggy jeans and sneakers.

Lavigne was called “Anti-Britney” for her image, but she fought back. She wanted fans to discuss her music, not her clothes.

Two marriages and a terrible illness

At 22, Avril got married for the first time. Her chosen one was Sum 41 vocalist Derick Whibley, who proposed to the “princess of pop-punk” in Venice.

Avril Lavigne first got married when she was 22 years old.

During the wedding, Lavigne turned into a real princess: she put on a feminine dress from Vera Wang and walked down the altar to the Mendelssohn march.

True, the fairy tale ended immediately after the wedding, when it turned out that Derik was taking drugs. The singer could not help her husband get rid of the bad habit and three years later they divorced.

In 2013, she remarried. This time her husband was Chad Kroeger, the lead singer of the band Nickelback. But even here happiness did not work out - in 2015, the celebrities also divorced.

The second marriage was also unsuccessful

That same year, Avril said she was able to recover from Lyme disease, which is spread by ticks. Oh, how long she struggled with the disease. Fortunately, she managed to defeat the disease, despite the disappointing forecasts of doctors.

What now?

Lavigne, 34, looks nothing like she did 16 years ago. She no longer experiments with her appearance, but remains a platinum blonde. And flowing dresses and even pink began to appear in her wardrobe! And the beauty of the idol of the 2000s blossomed... Judge for yourself.

The rich and famous also cry, and not always because of separation from loved ones. They, just like ordinary mortals, are susceptible to terrible diseases. Avril Lavigne's Lyme disease was terrible news not only for the relatives of the 31-year-old star, but also for fans and simply caring people.

Avril Lavigne - medical history

Rumors that Canadian performer, actress, and designer Avril Lavigne was ill appeared several years ago. The girl, as soon as she felt unwell, immediately turned to doctors for help. For a long time she tried to convince doctors that she was sick, but they could not find the reason and did not believe that something serious was happening to the singer. Avril said in one of the American shows that the diagnosis took almost two months. Despite the irreversible consequences that were occurring in her body, tests showed little, the disease progressed. And the doctors just shrugged, diagnosing either chronic fatigue syndrome or depression. They recommended resting, composing a new song, and filling life with bright emotions. Time was passing, and Avril Laville was getting worse.

Avril Lavigne is sick - terrible assumptions confirmed

In 2014, the singer released another album, after which she suspended her activities and seemed to disappear - TV shows and tours with her participation were cancelled. As it became known later, she struggled with it for a year. This is the name of tick-borne borreliosis, which is transmitted by ticks in the Northern Hemisphere. Symptoms of the disease are severe weakness, fever, rash, damage to the eyes, nervous system, joints, and heart.

According to Avril Lavigne herself, the tick bit her in the spring, when she was vacationing with friends in Los Angeles, and the disease was discovered only in the fall, six months later. The disease was advanced, and this could lead to disability or death.

The disease was very serious - the illness confined her to bed for 5 months, she could not care for herself, it was difficult for her to move and even breathe, the girl thought that she would die.

During her illness, singer Avril Lavigne divorced her husband Chad Kroeger, allegedly also due to illness - she did not want to be a burden to the young musician, lead singer of the band Nickelback. Although, according to some reports, the illness was only an impetus, the cause was initially dissatisfaction with intimate life in marriage. One way or another, during a difficult period in Avril’s life, her mother looked after her; her husband Chad Kroeger only occasionally visited the girl.

Avril Lavigne - news 2015

When it became known for certain what Avril Lavigne’s illness was, when she was undergoing more than one course of treatment in a rehabilitation center, the singer turned to fans through social networks with a request to pray for her recovery. True, she did not immediately disclose the diagnosis, and some thought that the idol was being treated for drug addiction.

Currently, the singer Avril Lavigne’s health has improved, the girl is slightly on the mend. It is still difficult to talk about recovery, because the treatment of Lyme disease uses the strongest antibiotics, which can both eradicate the disease and simply remove its symptoms for a while. But in 2015, fans of the star already saw the first photos after her illness - in them Avril Lavigne was recording new compositions in the studio, by the way, together with her ex-husband. It is assumed that Avril Laville's new album will soon be released - the sixth in a row.

According to some sources, it will definitely include a song dedicated to the Special Olympics.
