A Twitter conversation between Avril Lavigne and a fan where the “Hello Kitty” singer revealed that she was struggling with her health surfaced earlier this month.
Although there weren’t specific details regarding her health in the Twitter exchange, rumors have already begun that Avril Lavigne is in rehab, a report that the “Girlfriend” singer has since denied.
The rehab RUMORS are hilarious! The only thing I'm addicted to right now is Bing Crosby. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! and to all a goodnight!

Reports that Avril Lavigne is struggling with health issues spread rapidly after a fan account reportedly started tweeting out hashtags “#PrayForAvril” and “#GetWellSoonAvril,” according to CBS News.
“I feel bad because I haven’t bee able to say anything to the fans to let them no why I’ve been absent. I’m torn as I’m quite private. I’m not feeling well. I’m having some health issues. So please keep me in your prayers,” explained Avril Lavigne in the direct message with her fan.
The 30-year-old singer’s rep reportedly confirmed to Billboard that the Twitter messages were authentic a couple days after they became public, according to the NY Daily News. Avril Lavigne’s rep reportedly didn’t go into detail regarding the singer’s health issues. Despite her condition, the “Complicated” singer remained bright for the holidays, even tweeting holiday greetings for her fans.
