But what about Avril Lavigne? Did she really die in 2002, and has someone physically identical named Melissa Vandella been pretending to be her all this time? Of all the urban legends and nutty theories that six decades of pop music have sparked, surely the one starring the Canadian singer is the one that has the largest number of gullible followers.
The singer wasn't too bothered and replied: Obviously I'm Avril Lavigne. Obviously.
One of the reasons why this crazy theory has made more headway than others is to be found in the digital universe and its viral expansion, as well as in a career with too many ups and downs and prolonged silences.
Her first album, Let Go (2002), shipped 14 million units, the majority bought by young people who longed to be different, who did not understand the world they were living in and who were too young when Kurt Cobain was bawling about his vital discomfort. But Avril caught them at the right moment.
