Rocker Avril Lavigne Exits the spotlight due to illness

Remember rocker Avril Lavigne who is known for hits like, “Happy Ending” and “I’m With You”? We often wondered exactly what pulled her out of the spotlight in recent months. The singer finally divulged that she has been battling Lyme disease for some time now. She described the illness as a feeling of death and that it incapacitated her in many ways. There were feelings of lethargy throughout her sickness and she became bedridden for many months, causing her mother to move in with her while her husband of the group, Nickelback, was on tour.  She believes that she came in contact with a tick that caused the disease to overwhelm her.

There is good news, however. Avril told one magazine that she is up and running once again and has plans of releasing new music for the 2015 Special Olympics. Lavigne provided a quote that we can all live by. She stated, “I really just want to enjoy life from here on out.” We agree that striving to make the rest of your life, the best of your life is a great way to live.
