Chad Kroeger has spoken of his relief that wife Avril Lavigne's has bravely revealed her debilitating battle with Lyme's disease, which left her bedridden and out of the public eye for five months.
The Nickelback singer, 40, opened up while being interviewed on KIIS FM's Australian radio show Kyle & Jackie O on Wednesday, saying he was 'very thankful' that her condition was out in the open.
'I'm like OK the wife has come out and said this and now I don't have to keep hiding... with everyone going "What's wrong with your wife, what's wrong with your wife" and me just going, "ah she's gonna be fine".
'I'm like "okay, I can talk about this now", he said. Original article /www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3029603/Chad-Kroeger-reveals-relief-wife-Avril-Lavigne-s-debilitating-battle-Lyme-disease-open.html

That's why asked him not to talk about it No, I meant now that he is allowed to talk Now he can talk about it and all that he has said so far is "wow, now I can talk about it". I thought he would open up a bit more how it felt not to know what's wrong with her, how they found out etc.

What I understood from the interview, is that Avril asked Chad not to talk about her illness after she had revealed it. So by him saying, "I can talk about this now," he meant that he can say she has Lyme disease and that she is getting much better, but still not talk about specifics. I think that even though Avril has come forward and opened up about her condition, she doesn't want Chad talking about it much… maybe so that nickelback stays the center of attention during interviews. She probably feels bad that he is always bombarded with questions concerning her. And I'm sure she still doesn't want to constantly talk about her condition since she is such a private person, despite the fact that she has revealed her condition.

that's one of the things that she does that really annoys me. She acts like everything needs to be some super secret that she can't talk about I get if it's something like relationships or family stuff, but something like this? ?? It doesn't make sense to me

It doesn't make sense to me Her illness, her business. Avril owes us nothing in regards to her personal life in ANY circumstance. Honestly, I'm surprised Avril had even come out to say exactly what was wrong with her to the public, but I respect it nonetheless. I do think it's nice that she's being vocal on Lyme Disease.... Good job for her. I was wondering what was up, but it's not like I lose sleep over not knowing what goes on in Avril's life. I will NEVER understand why people feel the need to put such personal information/ situations on the web. Especially celebs. They don't owe fans any explanations for their lives.

No Avril doesn't owe us anything but at the same time, she hinted that she was ill, even saying fans need to "keep me in your prayers," which is worrisome. You can't exactly blame fans for wanting to know what was going on. If she had just said nothing about it at all, nobody would have been asking what was wrong with her.
It's kind of like how Taylor just announced on her Tumblr that her mom has been diagnosed with cancer. She didn't go into specifics about what kind of cancer or what stage she's at, how she's being treated, etc. but mentioned it because she wants her fans to encourage their parents to get checked out, she essentially wanted to bring awareness to it just like Avril wanted to bring awareness to Lyme. Avril did not have to tell us the details about what she went through or go to a magazine to talk about it, she could have just written a blog like Taylor and said "I've been suffering from Lyme disease for 5 months, but I'm feeling 80% better now. I would like to bring more awareness to this disease, etc. Love Avril" A simple explanation would have been enough. But she just said she was very ill and obviously that worried fans. If you're going to tell fans to keep you in their prayers, you should at least give a basic explanation of why. Otherwise, maybe just don't say anything at all.
IMO the real reason she revealed what was happening was to bring awareness to the disease.

It doesn't make sense to me I think that when you're a public figure you end up building a wall separating your picture perfect public persona and your real self. And I don't think you build that wall thinking about your fans, but about you. What I mean s that maybe Avril thinks her health is a private issue

She keeps her privacy bc she hates the uncessary comment her privacy life. She doesnt need those. I believe that when she debutes, she used to open up talking about her personal life. But then she saw too much shit from the media, then become a secret person. The case is kind of like why Zayn Malik leaves 1D

Whether it's her fans business or not, she still talked about it and it's known. I mean, get over it. She made it public and she wanted to bring awareness to it because she struggled with it and knows how hard it is to try to past it and now that she has overcome the worst of it, she wants to point it out that "Hey, this is real." She also probably wanted to publicize it so people know that y'know, celebrities don't have the picture perfect, never get sick, never have problems like they always seem to have. We see people like Bruce Jenner who, for a while, was being publicly humiliated because he wasn't sure who he wasn't comfortable in his own body and he was wanting to transition and he took a leap of faith by standing up and talking about it. If nobody in the limelight/public eye talks about big causes, then nobody would get anywhere and we wouldn't have any kind of change.

I agree. Also, Avril basically made it everyone's business by tweeting about asking her fans to pray for her and then revealing her whole story through a magazine. Maybe when she was actually dealing with the illness she didn't want to say much because she didn't know what was going to happen. But once she started getting better she went to People so that there could be as much awareness about her experience as possible. If she didn't want anyone to know, then she would have just kept silent the whole time and we'd have never known.
