Avril Ramona Lavigne, a Canadian singer, songwriter, and actress, currently 34 years of age, is said to have died and replaced by a doppelgänger named Melissa Vandella. Back in 2003, her grandfather died and conspiracy theorists speculated that this was the reason why Avril has taken her own life. Other conspiracy theorists had said that due to the fame that Avril was gaining, she was receiving a harsh spotlight from the paparazzis that made her team take another person which was Melissa to carry on the success.
This conspiracy theory travels back to when her 2002 debut album was released by a Brazilian Avril Fanpage and has risen again in 2017 when Avril was making new music. Her latest album had now been released, just in 2019, after a battle from the Lyme disease that went on for years. Her disappearance from the music industry may once again relive the conspiracy theory that Avril had died, because her current music had drastically changed. Besides her music, there are other factors that made half of the fans of Avril believe that she was replaced by Melissa.
There are several evidences that prove Avril Lavigne was replaced by Melissa Vandella. First evidence: her choice of clothes. The old Avril used to wear skate-punk outfits; mainly t-shirts and pants, while the new Avril suddenly wears dresses. This seems to strike the fans as odd that their pop punk princess suddenly transformed into a proper princess. Second evidence: her face structure. Her jawline looks different, her nose became sharper, the corner of her eyes changed, the length or her eyebrows to her eyes and her lips to her chin wasn’t the same. Third evidence: her handwriting (search it up). Fourth evidence: her voice and music. Avril’s music, after she “died”, had changed. From the dark and angst pop punk to a brighter and cheerleader pop music. There are also lyrics from when Melissa took over which hinted the departure of the real Avril. These are just a few examples mentioned by conspiracy theorists.
One thing for sure is people change over time and Avril Lavigne was one of them. Her choice of clothes may evolve since fashion does too, her face may further mature (or may have been gone through surgery), the way she writes just improved, and her music can change to however she wants it to. People do not stay at the same place all the time, they either move forward or backward; reliving the past or moving towards the future. Avril Lavigne changed and improved in the way that she wanted to, and to respect and accept her as who she is now and what she had become, is the one of the ways for us give her all the love and support she deserves. Even if it wasn’t the Avril that we knew before, I know that the person we know as Avril Lavigne, gave us the music that we now enjoy.
