Avril Lavigne Opens Up About Her Secret Health Crisis That Kept Her Bedridden for Months

Avril Lavigne is okay now, but last year was a tough time for the punk-rock singer when she started suffering from a startling disease that ultimately left her bedridden for months. She celebrated her 30th birthday with a girls trip in Vegas last October, but she was feeling pretty sick and in a less than stellar mood to party. Lavigne told People , “I could barely eat, and when we went to the pool, I had to leave and go lie in bed.” She added, “My friends asked, ‘What’s wrong?’ “I felt like I couldn’t breathe,” she added. Lavigne says she’s about 80% better now, so here’s hoping the “Hello Kitty” singer is 100% soon. Also be on the lookout for some new music: her new single “Fly” will be released in April in support of the 2015 Special Olympics.
