What happened to Avril Lavigne?
]
Whatever happened to Avril Lavigne, the 2000s rock queen known for pink-tipped hair and skinny ties? It’s a question many rock music lovers have asked in recent years. She was a huge hit in the 2000s, with a number of hit songs on the radio. She was coined a genuine pop-punk princess and icon… but what happened to her? Where did she disappear to? Here’s what you should know about Lavigne’s current circumstances.
Avril Lavigne‘s health issues
Lavigne opened up about the health crisis that consumed her life starting in 2014 when she was diagnosed with Lyme disease. To those unaware of the condition, it’s a tick-borne bacterial infection that causes painful complications in the body’s joints, nervous system, and organs. After meeting with multiple doctors and describing her symptoms of pain and fatigue which began when she was on tour in 2014, she received her life-changing diagnosis. The star described herself as feeling trapped in her own body at the time.
How Avril Lavigne feels about her diagnosis
According to an interview with Billboard, she said, “I had accepted that I was dying. And I felt in that moment like I was underwater and drowning, and I was trying to come up to gasp for air. And literally under my breath, I was like, ‘God, help me keep my head above the water.’” That prayer inspired the official title of her last album. Lavigne isn’t the only celebrity battling Lyme disease in her daily life. Justin Bieber, Kelly Osbourne, Amy Schumer, Bella Hadid, Ben Stiller, and Shania Twain are also living with the same condition.
What about Avril Lavigne‘s love life?
Lavigne has a song called “Complicated,” and her relationship history totally matches that sentiment. One of her first notable boyfriends is Brody Jenner. They dated from 2010 to 2012 and were spotted many times by paparazzi getting close. They reportedly broke up because she was ready to settle down but he wasn’t quite there yet. After that, she was linked to Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger in 2012. He was the first person she dated after things with Jenner fell apart. Things got serious enough for Lavigne and Kroeger that he proposed to her with a gorgeous 14-karat ring. They got married the very next day! Ultimately, they ended up announcing their separation on Instagram in 2015.
Before all this, Lavigne was married to Deryck Whibley from 2006 to 2010.
What about Avril Lavigne’s current boyfriend?
The most recent musician Lavigne has been tied to is an artist named Mod Sun. He gained notoriety for being part of a “throuple” relationship with Bella Thorne and Tana Mongeau. Lavigne’s been spotted spending time with Mod Sun as recently as September 2021, and even posted a pic of her kissing her fling.
Avril Lavigne’s voice acting career
Lavigne lent her voice to a couple of children’s movies over the years. The first is the 2006 film Over the Hedge. She played the role of Heather, and worked alongside Bruce Willis, William Shatner, and Wanda Sykes. The animated flick ended up pulling in over $340 million at the box office. Fast forward to 2018, and Lavigne was willing to do a little more voice acting in the movie Charming. The animated musical also includes the voices of Demi Lovato, Wilmer Valderrama, and Ashley Tisdale.
Avril Lavigne‘s TikTok
Going viral on TikTok is something plenty of celebs have tried and failed at, but for Avril it’s been an easy road. She’s only posted two videos to her page so far and she already has over 2.7 million followers, with the two videos she’s posted already raking in over 8.6 million likes. One of the videos includes Lavigne jamming out with former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker. He’s a hot topic lately for his relationship with Kourtney Kardashian and his friendship with Machine Gun Kelly. The other video showcases Lavigne hanging out with Tony Hawk, the super famous skateboarder. In the clip, Lavigne is aptly singing the lyrics to her hit song “Sk8er Boi.”
Avril Lavigne just released a new song
The newest song released by Lavigne is called “Bite Me.” This song is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Amazon music, title, and a few other places. There’s also an official music video for it on YouTube now as well. She dropped the video mid-November 2021 and it already has over 10 million views. In the comment section, fans are letting her know the song gives them 90s vibes and reminds them of the early 2000s. It makes sense that she’s dipping into the same style of music she once performed rather than conforming to music industry updates.
This is what Avril Lavigne has been posting on Instagram
On Instagram, Lavigne has over 10.1 million followers. Most recently, she posted the cover shot for her Nylon Magazine photo spread. In some of the pictures, she’s surrounded by red flowers and in other pictures, she is simply staring at the camera, wrapped up in a gorgeous black dress. She promotes her new music quite a bit on her Instagram feed and even posts the occasional bikini shot.
What about Avril Lavigne‘s current net worth?
These days, it appears Lavigne has a net worth of $60 million according to Celebrity Net Worth. She got started in the music industry young signing a 2-album record contract with Arista Records at the age of 16. That first deal alone was worth more than $2 million! Since then, she’s successfully sold over 30 million albums and 50 million singles worldwide. Her amazing music has led her down the path of breaking records. She’s the youngest female soloist to reach the number one spot in the UK.
Avril Lavigne is very much into activism
When it comes to activism, Lavigne is supportive of many causes. Some of the organizations she supports include the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Amnesty International, EraseMS, and War Child. In 2007, she performed in Montreal in the Unite Against AIDS concert to raise money for AIDS research and prevention. She started her own charity in 2009 called the Avril Lavigne Foundation to help individuals who are suffering from serious illnesses, diseases, and disabilities. This rockstar has a big heart and her fans are excited to see what’s in store.

Avril Lavigne has announced the impending arrival of Love Sux, the singer’s seventh studio album.
Ahead of the LP’s Feb. 25 release, Lavigne also shared the album’s second single “Love It When You Hate Me,” featuring a verse from Blackbear. The pop-punk track follows Love Sux’s introductory single “Bite Me.”
Lavigne last released Head Above Water in 2019. Love Sux marks her first LP on Travis Barker’s DTA Records label, with the Blink-182 drummer serving as co-producer on both “Bite Me” and “Love It When You Hate Me.”
Lavigne previously said of working with Barker in a statement: “The first time we worked together was 15 years ago on my album The Best Damn Thing and I have really enjoyed watching him develop into the producer that he is today. We spent a lot of time writing songs and working on this record together, and signing to his record label felt like the perfect home for me and my new music.”
In addition to Blackbear, Love Sux — available to preorder now — also features appearances by Machine Gun Kelly (“Bois Lie”) and Barker’s Blink-182 bandmate Mark Hoppus (“All I Wanted”).

‘Even though there’s songs about past love experiences that didn’t work out, I’m in such a good place in my life that it’s still just fun and feisty and light. I’m kind of poking fun at myself that I’ve gone through a lot in love,’ she stated.
The singer added: ‘I wanted to keep it light and playful, which is more of a reflection of where I am today. I am comfortable and happy with who I am today, but I still go through the same struggles and I want people to feel empowered.’

When Avril first hit the music industry in 2002 with her debut album she released such exceptional singles as Sk8er Boi and Complicated. The “pop-punk queen’s” first record is still the best-selling album of the 21st century from a Canadian artist, but it could have been even bigger if she had kept one track.
In the early 2000s Avril wrote a little song called Breakaway. The emotional track features some powerfully personal lyrics - but Avril could not get on board with how it sounded. She explained last year: “Breakaway was a song that I worked on and co-wrote for my first album, Let Go, and I just didn’t like it. It was just a ballad, and I was like: ‘[It] feels like a church song.’ And I was just, like, not there.” The star revealed the song later went to American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson, before adding: “I’m pretty sure it went number one.”
Avril Lavigne wrote one massive hit for someone else
Avril Lavigne explained how she wasn’t a fan of the track
Kelly is still an extremely popular star to this day, and Breakaway is a key part of her history as she named her second album after it. After winning the aforementioned singing competition in 2002 she released her first record, Thankful. Two years later she dropped her follow-up album, Breakaway, to enormous commercial success. The album hit store shelves in 2004 and has since gone 6x platinum after selling more than 6 million copies worldwide. From the record, Kelly released a slew of singles, including Since U Been Gone, Because of You, Walk Away and Breakaway. Although Kelly’s success was boosted with Avril’s song, the Canadian star had nothing but good things to say about the American singer.

Avril beamed: “She’s an incredibly strong, beautiful voice with insane range, and she took that song to the next level. Kelly Clarkson f**king owned it. So, that was cool.” She later added: “She’s done a lot with her career. She’s done American Idol, killed it as a singer, she’s done country stuff, she’s like doing so much, and now she has a talk show. That’s so dope, and she’s so good at it.” The 37-year-old was also quizzed over whether she had ever teamed up with Kelly to sing the song as a duet. DON’T MISS…

Avril responded: “No, but that would be fun,” before adding: “On my last tour, I actually performed that and added that song into my setlist for the first time.” Breakaway was also featured prevalently in pop culture in 2004 as it was released by Walt Disney Records. The song was included in the soundtrack of the 2004 film The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.
