After being diagnosed with Lyme disease and becoming unwell, Lavigne decided to stop singing.
Lavigne has spoken up about her health crisis, which began in 2014 when she was diagnosed with Lyme disease. To those who are unfamiliar with the disease, it is a tick-borne bacterial infection that produces painful issues in the joints, nervous system, and organs of the body.
She got her life-changing diagnosis after consulting with various doctors and detailing her pain and tiredness symptoms, which began while she was on tour in 2014. At the time, the star said she felt stuck in her skin.
Lavigne says her condition is now under control, nearly five years after her 2014 diagnosis. She spends much of her free time painting and cooking at home in Los Angeles, and she aspires to return to touring at some point, though she isn’t physically ready now.
