Avril Lavigne has finally addressed a conspiracy theory suggesting she died and was replaced by a body double.

The long-running urban myth claims the original singer passed away shortly after the release of her debut album, ‘Let Go’ (2003), and was replaced by a look-a-like named Melissa Vandella.

Putting the rumours to bed, she told the Call Her Daddy podcast: “It’s just funny to me, on one end everyone is like, ‘Oh my god you look the exact same, you haven’t aged a day, but then on the other hand it’s like, ‘There’s this conspiracy theory that I am not me’.
