Avril Lavigne performed in Japan for the first time in five years

Avril Lavigne performed in Japan for the first time in five years since announcing that she has been suffering from Lyme Disease.

The popular Canadian singer/songwriter had a popular following in Japan prior to her announcement five years ago.

Avril performed in Tokyo on the 27th and released a new album titled “Head Above Water”.

The live in front of 130 people featured a mini-live and talk show for her fans.

Avril said about her album, “This album is like my movie.  I told my stories which I have experienced in the last few years.  I have always wanted to sing but because I was fighting (Lyme Disease), I had the time to rewrite songs many times.  It’s a very special album and is very real and a lot of lyrics touch upon very deep moments in my life”.
