I think she just wanted us to know she's not being lazy, without disclosing entirely what's happening to her. It has happened before and if I were her I'd probably do the same. Anyways, it always seems that Avril always makes mistakes when it comes to communicating with her fans. When she doesn't, fans complain. When she does, she's called an attention seeker. And when she tries to keep it balanced, seemingly it doesn't please anyone. Apparently she just can't get it right. I think we should give her some break and credit, given the circumstances.

In everyone's defense, when someone has ongoing "health issues" for several months without saying anything else, it's worrying. Yes, Avril is a private person who hasn't embraced the whole point of social networking, and Bandaids is a difficult crowd to please sometimes. It's not a good combination. But this situation isn't comparable to some trite about setlists or whatever. And who's calling her an attention seeker besides that one idiot on Twitter? I would agree that some people are getting a bit bogged down with the "Why DM?" thing. Whoever she DMed must have REALLY wanted to get a reply from her and had a certain way with words. No more explanation is needed.

From what I know about the DM situation, that person is someone she follows (obviously, or else they couldn't DM), this is probably someone she has followed for awhile. They asked her why we haven't heard much from her and that's when she revealed she was ill. Avril did say she was "torn," meaning there is a part of her that wants to share this with us. But who knows, maybe it's an STD or something and she's embarrassed about it, is worried how people will react, is worried about what the media will say, etc.
She may feel ok with sharing it with fans but the media would end up picking up on it as well and she probably doesn't want the entire world knowing. I can see why she is so torn about it.

I can see why she is so torn about it. So can I, but it's only a matter of time before an awful rumour goes viral and Avril or someone else has to put a stop to it. It might be simpler to just take preemptive action by letting everyone know what's happening before the rumours get out of control, but I guess that's her choice. Playing the media game can't be easy.

Playing the media game can't be easy. Well, I'm talking from a very personal point of view, but I think that even if the illness was nothing embarrassing I would try to hide it from the press as much as possible-probably because, being sick, the last thing I'd want to deal with would be paparazzi and bloggers writing entries. However, if, like Avril, I know that there are tons of people that genuinely care about me, I'd tell them that I'm ill. At some other points, her ways have seemed strange and even irrational to me, but at this instance i totally relate to her.

Maybe Avril is like me and doesnt understand how Twitter works at all... I am on twitter for a long time and know basics like retweets etc. - but it seems so stupid and confusing to me to chat or reply on twitter. Maybe Avril feels the same and simply doesnt know how to use it better. We all know she isnt the best when it comes to Social Media etc.

I don't think that she has cancer. I think she has Depression or burn out. I hope she gets well soon and release music. The positive thing is, we get Fly in a few months
