Recently, we've all heard the news and read the Twitter thread on Avril Lavigne's passing. Our dearly beloved pop-punk star from the early 2000's was a national icon, to say the least. But to hear a theory that she had actually died and was replaced by her celebrity doppelganger Melissa Vandella was shocking but oh so believable. The evidence quickly piled up and all of a sudden without warning, we had known the truth about Avril Lavigne's fate. But quite possibly the most startling concept that arose from this exposé was the idea that if this could happen to the coveted Avril Lavigne, who else could this happen to? What else could the music industry be hiding from us? And who is really still working music?

1. Avril Lavigne

Starting off this list, of course, is the name who started of this modern cloning conspiracy snowball. It is theorized that Avril Lavigne committed suicide around 2003 after the tragic passing of her grandfather. Since then, the music industry has kept her death under hushed tones and has played us for fools putting Melissa Vandella, her red carpet doppelganger in her place. This story, just like the following have no proven validity, but can they truly be written out? Not as of right now with the evidence (or lack thereof) that we currently have.

2. Beyoncé

The queen bee of music, not who she claims to be? How could that be? Well, believe it or not, there is a theory that Beyoncé passed tragically in the early 2000's in a car accident. The pop diva had the genius intuition to donate some of her DNA prior to the accident so that in the case of an accident, we would be able to clone her and live in with the miraculous gift of god that she is.

3. Paul McCartney

Did Paul McCartney really die in January of 1967? That's what some people think. Similar to Avril Lavigne, the theory is that Paul McCartney died and was replaced by an expert look alike that graciously took the place of Sir Paul. Dying in a car accident after a fight between band members, William Campbell took his place, or did he?

4. Megan Fox

Did Megan Fox get replaced with clones twice? Possibly. Did she just get a lot of plastic surgery over the course of an extended period of time? Not likely, they were clearly clones.

5. Miley Cyrus

2010: The year Miley Cyrus died? That's the theory. Apparently, it has been reported on a local news outlet that Miley Cyrus's dead body was found dehydrated and with bruises around her wrists and throat in East LA. Apparently, KCAL radio station spent the day reporting on this information and then was forced to retract the information the next day. Could Miley have been replaced as well? Highly likely.

6. Britney Spears

Did her love for Justin Timberlake really die that quickly, or was it her who died? Britney and Justing were in a car accident in the late 90's that ended up killing Britney who was then replaced by a clone (or multiple clones). Proof? Her 2005 track, Mona Lisa, has the lyric "she's been cloned" sung by "Britney" herself.

7. Eminem

Eminem was murdered in a car accident in 2005 after his album "Encore," after refusing to work with the Illuminati. Eminem was killed and replaced by a "Satanic homosexual" copy of the real Slim Shady.

The truth is out there!
