Avril Lavigne is back with new album 'Head Above Water' after bouncing back from battle with Lyme disease
Lavigne wrote a lengthy letter to her fans on her website, detailing her battle with Lyme disease and how her new album is influenced by it.
Next Wednesday, on September 19, Avril Lavigne will release 'Head Above Water', the title track from her upcoming new album of the same name. The album will mark the pop-punk icon's sixth studio effort and comes a full half a decade after her previous eponymous release 'Avril Lavigne'.
It's also the first original material the singer will be putting out since she announced in 2015 that she was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Although Lavigne stayed out of the public spotlight, she confirmed that she has been toiling away at her album since then.
"I spent the last few years at home sick fighting Lyme Disease," she writes in a lengthy statement on her official website.
