Avril Lavigne Reveals Serious Illness

Singer Avril Lavigne revealed this week that she is suffering from an undisclosed health issue. During a direct-message exchange on Twitter, Lavigne told @AvrilMusicChart that she “is not feeling well” and is “having some health issues.”

Rumors began when her husband, Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger had been spotted without Lavigne over the last several weeks. Divorce and separation rumors began, among with some strangely timed pregnancy rumors started by fans and tabloid outlets. Though Lavigne’s reps have confirmed the singer is dealing with health issues, they have also confirmed that she is not pregnant.

@AvrilMusicChart and wrote in the above message, “I feel bad because I haven’t been able to say anything to the fans to let them [know] why I have been absent. I’m torn as I’m quite private. I’m not feeling well. I’m having some health issues. So please keep me in your prayers.” The fansite began the #prayforavril and #getwellsoonavril hashtags that eventually began trending on Twitter. The singer herself was humbled by the outpouring of love.

Neither Lavigne nor her representation have gone on record with what it is she may be suffering from.
