Remember the theory that Avril Lavigne died and was replaced?
The assumption emerged in 2011 after a series of physical analyzes of the singer and her albums
Canadian singer Avril Lavigne discovered the taste of fame at a very young age, at the age of 17, after releasing her first album entitled “Let Go”, in which we see throughout the clips and songs her old passion for skateboarding and a portfolio of compositions melancholic, simultaneously.
Selling around 20 million copies of her first album around the world, Avril became the first young woman with a solo career to reach the top of the UK charts. Her success has gone much further, and she currently has five studio albums, as well as being the owner of a clothing brand with her childhood nickname, Abbey Down, an actress and poster girl for three fragrances inspired by her different personalities.
However, over the years, theories began to emerge talking about the singer’s death and her replacement by a lookalike. In 2011, a Brazilian website stated that the pressure of fame resulted in severe depression, and listed a series of factors that would “prove” that Avril Lavigne had died at a young age, more specifically after the release of the song “Nobody’s Home”, which says that she was returning home to vent to her parents, but there was no one there, and therefore she decided to take her own life.
When the singer’s manager, LA Reid , discovered the fatality, he had the idea of finding a replacement for Avril , a girl similar to her and who already provided some services for the team, such as outwitting fans on the streets passing by the singer. Therefore, Melissa Vandella would have been completely revamped into a rockier and more mature version of what viewers had already seen in Lavigne ‘s first videos and live performances .
In addition to the appearance, which had clearly matured, other physical aspects drew attention, such as: the shape of the nose, height, some birthmarks that were no longer seen and the change in timbre that the “old” and “new” achieved. In addition to the changes in style and albums – the second, “Under My Skin”, became known as the darkest album of Avril Lavigne’s career – over the years.
Such theories and conspiracies have already been refuted by the singer herself, who during interviews was questioned and denied everything that was created and supposed by others. Remembering that voice changes vary depending on age, and it is completely normal for different timbres to be achieved over time, in addition, changes in style are at the discretion of the artist herself, as well as the direction and interpretation she decided to follow with her other albums. .
