GettyBack in August 2002 the ears of the world were polluted by the monstrous single, Sk8er Boi, by Avril Lavigne. Even the spelling of skater makes me cringe.
Sk8er Boi (eurgh) marked Avril’s entry into the world of music with the song making the top ten in over a dozen countries.
Nowadays – Avril’s later singles don’t even have faintest reminiscent sound of her early work.
Did she grow up? Realise that pop punk is essentially the most irritatable music in the world, aside from Skrillex, and change her style?
Hah. You couldn’t be more wrong. Is that conspiracy I smell?

As with all things ever, people in tin foiled hats believe that Avril Lavigne now is an entirely different person than she used to be – literally.
They believe in the possibility that Avril took her own life after the death of her grandfather back in 2003 and her highly publicised lookalike, Melissa Vandella, took her place full time.
so she decided to hire a look alike to walk around LA for her and pose for the paparazzi (avril on the left, look alike on the right) pic.twitter.com/wNSrDVh09i

Now, it’s very well known that Melissa Vandella was Avril’s lookalike because Avril couldn’t deal with the paparrazi 24/7.
However according to Givenchyass, who kicked the whole debate off on Twitter last week, Avril’s lookalike did not only go out into public, she was also taught how to sing like Avril too.
When Avril took her own life, because she was at the peak of her career, her record label decided that Melissa should live the rest of her life as Avril full time.
and the next part of this theory is that she actually succeeded. it is said avril hung herself in late 2003

now if you were alive during this time you know that avril was everywhere. everyone knew her name, she was THE punk princess

she was at the peak of her career, so it is said that instead of letting the news of her dying go into the media, they used her look alike

to live on the rest of "avril lavigne's" life as her. they already had avril's recordings of her second album so they decided to release it

And the proof? Here it is in a series of random photographs apparently.
then all of a sudden in 2007, "avril" (melissa) released the best damn thing and she had a new look and a new style (avril 2004, avril 2007) pic.twitter.com/CuWn8YcNke

Now is this theory fact or bullshit? Spoiler, it’s bullshit.
