For the first time, the death of a star was discussed two years ago, after which inquisitive netizens collected a real evidence base. Conspiracy theorists are sure that Lavigne died at the peak of her popularity in 2004 and the producers did not want to lose such profits, so they hid the death of the singer and replaced her with a double.
According to fans, this happened after the release of Avril's second highest-rated album "Under My Skin". The cause of death is said to be suicide. This theory became even more plausible after it turned out that once Lavigne, indeed, replaced a double at a concert. The singer suddenly became ill and the actress Melissa Vandella, who was very similar to her, appeared on the stage instead of Avril.
The incident occurred in 2002, even before the alleged death of the star. Fans are confident that Vandela still stands for the deceased Lavigne. As evidence, those who believe in the death of the singer cite her photos of different years, in which many moles have disappeared and the shape of the nose has changed.
All this, it would seem, can be corrected with the help of doctors. But the conspirators made a cut of concerts from different years, where Avril Lavigne's voice is very different. There has been a lot of controversy online about this. It is worth noting that the performer leads an active life in social networks, but she does not comment on this version in any way. But Melisa Vandella has repeatedly posted photos on this topic.
You may remember how, in the 2010s, the Internet was stirred up by the news that the famous singer Avril Lavigne was dead and the producers replaced her with another girl. For a very long time, fans procrastinated this information, found various “evidence” in favor of this theory, studied photographs of their favorite artist under a microscope, but did not really find out anything ...
Over time, the hype subsided, and some completely forgot about the existence of Avril Lavigne. And now, in 2019, one of the most popular conspiracy theories of our time has been revived again. More details in our material.
It is not known for certain who spread the rumors about the death of Avril Lavigne, but this information managed to sweep literally all over the world. For the first time, the alleged suicide of a popular singer was discussed in 2012. Then the fans of the star guessed that the big news was actually a fake. But some suspicions nevertheless crept into the bright heads of her fans.
They began to study the photos of the singer "before and after" and find almost imperceptible, but characteristic differences in them. Basically, they concerned the location of moles on the body and the proportions of the face.
The rumors were also fueled by the fact that the singer practically disappeared from the stage. Lavigne stopped recording songs, giving concerts and did not even appear on social networks. Fans explained the girl’s rare public appearances in this way: the producers hired actress Melissa Vandella for her “role”.
It was useless to explain to fans that Lyme disease was the reason for the sudden creative pause of the singer. Lavigne herself later admitted: the disease took away all her strength.
Avril and Melissa are really very similar. But does this give reason to assert any substitution?
Despite the absurdity of this theory, materials on this topic are still surfacing on the Internet. For example, this video appeared on the network quite recently, on January 21, 2019, and collected thousands of views.
Avril Lavigne herself claims that she is real. In an interview with a Canadian publication, the singer said:
“Yes, some people think that I am not real, and this is complete nonsense! I don't understand how they can think like that?
It does not sound too convincing, but the singer can also be understood. Just imagine how many people ask her the same question every day.
Even the "double" Avril Lavigne - actress Melissa Vandella - could not withstand the onslaught of curious fans and limited access to her page.
We do not undertake to assert what is true and what is not. Draw your own conclusions.
Fortunately, last year the singer decided to resume her career and released a video for the song "Head Above Water" for the first time in five years. Now you can examine in detail the appearance of the girl, her facial features and moles on her body, and decide whether she is real or not.
Avril or Melissa? How do you think?

The 34-year-old wants everyone to know she's the real Avril Lavigne. During an interview on Australian radio, the singer finally commented on the crazy conspiracy, according to which she allegedly died 15 years ago, and instead of her, a similar girl appears under her name.
Do you laugh at the rumors that you are no more and your doppelgänger comes on stage?
the interlocutor asked.
Yes, some people think I'm not real, it's so weird! Why do they even think about it!? the star replied.
In case you didn't know, back in 2017, a Twitter user claimed to have allegedly found evidence that Avril committed suicide in 2003 after her grandfather's death. Since this was at the height of the popularity of the song Sk8er Boi (this is the Canadian singer's second single from her debut album Let Go, released in 2002), the record company allegedly hired a look-alike named Melissa Vandella to replace her. At the same time, a fact that actually took place is given as one of the "iron" arguments: somehow Lavigne stood before the concert and a "clone" really performed instead of her.
The first suspicions that the current Avril impostor appeared on the Internet a few years ago, and since then, fans have been diligently collecting the "evidence base": comparing handwriting, analyzing the evolution of her style and appearance.
In April, the singer was in public for the first time after a two-year break, and recently she took part in a Billboard magazine and dispelled rumors about the presence of a double. However, the singer convinced, it seems, not everyone ...

For the first time, rumors that Avril Lavigne was not real began to spread around the network in 2015. The source for the conspiracy theory was a study by like-minded people on Twitter, who stated the following: young Avril Lavigne died back in 2003, shortly before her second and best album Under My Skin was released. However, the record company considered that this is the rare case when it is more profitable to keep the artist alive than to earn on the wave of universal sympathy and nostalgia (as was the case of Michael Jackson, who had three new records released after his death).
Everyone unanimously calls the cause of Avril's death suicide, although the motives for hanging are sought out for a variety of reasons (mostly troubles in his personal life). In confirmation, a whole armful of facts and evidence was collected. Some are completely stupid, and some are closer to reality - for example, miraculously disappeared permanent moles. Altered growth and different shape of nails.
One of the clear studies of the discrepancy between the appearance of the new and old Avril.
This theory entered a fundamentally new round recently, after the supposed twin was calculated. She was the actress Melissa Vandella. Moreover, Vandella became Avril's double during the latter's lifetime: in 2002, Avril had a nervous breakdown and, in order not to cancel the planned concerts, Melissa was put in her place. Avril herself then apologized to the fans.

Hints of real events are found even in Melissa's songs, and there are many of them. We present one of them - Slipped Away, which Melissa dedicated to the deceased Avril:
... It was not a fake,
You really died.
No, you're dead, now you're dead
And went there, went there
Where you can't get back.
The Internet is now so full of this kind of evidence that it is impossible to pass by, even if you want to. The case has gone so far that even the Brazilian, who was the first to hypothesize a double in 2015, is now backtracking and claims he was joking. Traitor!
However, the theory is already out of his control and lives its own life.
Do you believe that Avril Lavigne is long dead? Then urgently look what really happened to her!

For a couple of days now, the Web has been discussing the death of Avril Lavigne. Oddly enough, the singer was “killed” by her own fans, who are confident that for the last 13 years the star has been replaced by an understudy. We asked the president of The Platinental Aesthetic Lounge, plastic surgeon Andrey Iskornev, to participate in the investigation to clarify the situation.
Andrey Iskornev's opinion
“The Hollywood standard for rejuvenation includes an invariable rule - to start with an endoscopic facelift. This is such an approach when tissues are pulled up through intraoral and temporal punctures, so that interventions remain invisible. This operation makes the face fresh, but without the effect of tissue stretching. It is possible that the artist took advantage of this approach, plus a little work on the shape of the nose. But! In plastic surgery, to assess the appearance, as in forensics, they use the so-called anthropometric face map (a table of relationships between different intervals on the face). In the photo of the singer of different years, you can see the complete correspondence between the so-called face height and the inter-zygomatic distance. The shape of the lips, the shape of the eyes, the height of the nose and the height of the forehead are also almost identical. So the minimal changes in Avril's appearance are associated with natural growing up, but definitely not with the presence of a double in her life.
