Based on the theory that was discussed in publications such as Gawker and Vice, the Avril that you are seeing now is the doppleganger of the singer/musician named Melissa Vandella.
A particular website called AvrilEstaMorta.blogspot.com shared their own observations on the major changes that occured to the image of Avril such as the birthmarks, moles and pimples.
The same site said that since 2002 from being 1.58m to 1.55m. Her voice and the nose shape has already changed.
Though it may sound real and true, but this is just a theory that was created to see how people would really believe everything that they read online.
Avril reacted on her Twitter account saying that this is indeed an insane idea.
