What happened to you, Avril Lavigne?
Once
the postergirl for mall-rat rebels everywhere, Avril was a verifiable
superstar in the early-aughts with seminal sing-a-longs à la "Sk8r Boi"
and "Complicated" -- however her star has fallen in recent years after a
slew of terrible, kawaii-appropriation stunts, a foray into the world
of sugar-rush EDM and, uh, Chad Kroger.
Well, according to a Noisey deep dive, some Avril fans in Brazil (specifically the "Avril Is Dead" Blogspot)
have apparently come up with an explanation, because the real Avril
Lavigne died immediately after the release of her debut album and was
replaced by a doppelganger named Melissa Vandella.
