Avril Lavigne had to cancel a show recently, much to the dismay of her fans.

She has taken to her Myspace blog to apologize:

“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.

Avril”

Fans of Avril Lavigne were left fuming on Wednesday evening when they arrived at the singer’s Cox Arena show in San Diego, California only to find the pop star had quietly cancelled the concert.

The Sk8ter Boi hitmaker, whose U.S. tour has been plagued by poor ticket sales, called in sick earlier in the day with laryngitis, prompting promoters to cancel the gig.

But Lavigne’s management and the promoters failed to let fans know, prompting thousands to make the journey to San Diego only to find the concert had been cancelled.

One angry mom told Wenn, “Most of Avril’s fans are young girls, who had to travel quite a distance to get to the show.

“With gas prices what they are, you would have thought that someone would have alerted the local media and radio stations, so that everyone knew the concert was cancelled.”

The singer has posted a statement on her official website apologizing to fans and declaring a rescheduled performance will be announced in due course.

Pop star Avril Lavigne is so unimpressed with the current crop of celebrity magazines, she wants to create her own scandal-free version.

The singer claims today’s publications are too negative, and she could do a much better job. Lavigne tells the New York Daily News, “I would make it completely positive. “There’s so much negativity right now. I’d pick up the big stories, but they’d have to be positive.”

Pop star Avril Lavigne has been forced to drop the price of her California home by $1.2 million after it failed to sell for its original asking price.

The Mullholland Estates, Beverly Hills mansion was put on the property market for $7 million and attracted three potential buyers. The buyers are reported to have pulled out of the deal, leaving the 6,894 square foot property unsold.

Lavigne has now dropped the asking price of her former home with husband Deryck Whibley to $5.8 million in an attempt to attract new buyers.
