NY Daily News: Avril Lavigne returns to the stage at Special Olympics in first show since revealing battle with Lyme disease
The 30-year-old singer took to the stage Saturday to perform her new single "Fly" at the 2015 Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles. The performance -- which she nailed -- was her first since she revealed her battle with Lyme disease.
Life & Style Weekly:
It's hard to believe the stunning Avril Lavigne we saw grace the stage at the Special Olympics on Saturday has been fighting a debilitating disease for two years.
But there she was, beautiful with long blonde locks and a backless gown, absolutely nailing a performance her song 'Fly' for the crowd, completely defiant of the Lyme disease that had her bed ridding just months ago.

Nylon:
Recovering from Lyme disease hasn't been easy for Lavigne, which makes her first performance all the more inspiring, as she sang about perseverance and overcoming the odds. "It's like a second shot at life," she had said on Good Morning America about defeating the illness. "I want to go out there and truly do what I love, so I'm so excited for life after this."
We're glad to see her performing again and using her own experiences to uplift and empower others with an inspiring ballad like "Fly."

As the torch was lit to officially begin the games, Lavigne appeared onstage in a sparkling dress to perform her inspiring single that benefits the games.
While the performance was all for a special cause, it clearly marks a powerful milestone for Lavigne who has been recovering from Lyme disease.

Now she needs to keep it up and she might be able to have some kind of "comeback" or at least be respected amongst general public from now on.
