Avril has canceled a lot of concerts and TV Appearances because she lost her voice, she posted an explanation at her MySpace. Read it below.

Hey Guys,

I am at home right now taking it easy. I have been sick this whole tour, and now I have lost my voice. I have never canceled a show in my whole career and just had to for the first time ever. This sux! I am so sorry! I have been on the road for 60 days straight. I have had the flu 3 times and I never get sick, it just keeps going around. I think I am just run down. I just played 4 shows in a row in Texas (which is a lot for the vocals) and woke up in Vegas Tuesday with no voice. I thought I was gonna have to cancel that show, but I made it through…..barely! I still went on stage in Vegas and gave it my all, but unfortunately its interfering with my throat now. I had to eliminate songs.

I woke up yesterday and knew I wouldn’t be able to sing last night. My voice is so shot. We drove home yesterday and I went to my throat doctor. He stuck a camera down my throat….ewwww, I gagged!!! It was kinda funny though…..he said I have “Acute Laryngitis”.

So, um, yeah, that sux. I was supposed to play a show in San Diego yesterday and was supposed to perform on Jay Leno tomorrow and go live with Ryan Seacrest in the today, but I had to cancel that too. I’m at home resting my voice for 2 days and hope to be back out soon. Thank you for understanding. And once again, I sincerely apologize.

New candids, finally! Avril arrived at Fairfax last April 14, she looks great wearing a new Abbey Dawn hoodie. This new clothing line sure must be awesome!

Check out the cover for The Best Damn Thing’s CD Single. The single will come out on June 6th 2008. So far we haven’t gotten any news if it will have any B-sides, like most of her CD singles, or even the song she recorded which is playing on tour, Bad Reputation! Maybe we’ll just get a remix, but we’ll see!

It has been confirmed that Avril Lavigne and The Jonas Brothers are touring together in July. See the dates below.

It would be really odd because they’re both really great singers/band. So it would be some trouble to chose who is opening for whom. I have a feeling that it would be Avril to open for the JB, because they are going to perform in New York City. On the current The Best Damn Tour Dates, you can see that Avril would be performing at New York in April 11 and Ohio in March 26, but again, on the JB tour dates, the venues repeat. This might be mainly for JB’s tour dates, but let’s keep our fingers crossed, let’s hope it’s a continuation of The Best Damn Tour.

Tour Dates
July 22 - St. Louis, MO - Verizon Wireless Amphitheater
July 23 - Indianapolis, IN - Verizon Wireless Music Center
July 25 - Hershey, PA - Hershey Park Stadium & Star Pavilion
July 26 - Hartford , CT - New England Dodge Music Center
July 28 - Cincinnati, OH - Riverbend Music Center
July 29 - Charlotte, NC - Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre
