Rumors have been swirling recently about the health of Avril Lavigne and the supposed rehab stint she was undertaking. The "Hello Kitty" singer took to Twitter last night, Dec. 23, to let her fans know she was not in rehab and to wish them a Merry Christmas, via Billboard. Rumors have persisted on social media and fan forums about Avril Lavigne's health problems and she has responded.


The speculation stems from an undisclosed illness that Avril Lavigne has been suffering from, which she revealed in a DM to a fan account on Twitter. There had been rumors swirling about a possible pregnancy, leading her to be largely absent from the public eye, but she cleared up — sort of — why she has been distant as of late.

She has not revealed what the problem is as of yet, but we hope it is not too serious.

Lavigne has had a tumultous fall embroiled in speculation and rumors. In addition to the talk about her health, she has been dealing with the public divorce between herself and her ex-husband Chad Kroeger, the singer and guitarist for Nickelback.

She released her fifth studio album, the self-titled Avril Lavigne in November 2013 to a lukewarm reaction. The album produced the singles "Here's to Never Growing Up," "Rock n Roll," "Let Me Go" and the controversial "Hello Kitty."

We hope Lavigne feels better soon!
