Conspiracy: Is the real Avril Lavigne dead?

Was the real Avril Lavigne replaced many years ago by a lookalike named Melissa? Here's the evidence.

Avril Lavigne was once so closely associated with her punk rock image that fans have created a conspiracy theory suggesting she was replaced by a lookalike named "Melissa Vandella." According to the theory, the real Avril passed away in the early 2000s and the record label secretly replaced her to continue capitalizing on her success. As crazy as it sounds, this theory has persisted over the years after it gained a ton of traction when details came out in 2011. Avril has laughed off and denied these rumors many times over the years, but what else would we expect Melissa her to do?

Anyways, we tackled this conspiracy and debated all of the details a couple of years ago during our Spooky Season. Check it out below.
