That Avril Lavigne is dead. From her second album onwards it’s been Melissa, a woman initially hired as s lookalike by her record company for things like meet-and-greets. When Avril died, the record company covered it up in order to keep making money.
I love it because:
- it’s so blatantly nonsense
- Lavigne has very distinctive teeth and the idea of finding an exact lookalike itself is incredibly unlikely
- people believe it anyway
- there’s all kind of videos comparing live footage and how different her signing voice is
- some people** really** believe it
- it was started by a guy on his blog with an explicit statement at the start that it wasn’t true and his intent was to demonstrate how easy it was to create a conspiracy theory…
