Avril Lavigne is ready for her musical comeback

The 32-year-old singer has not dropped an album since her self-titled 2013 album as she has been battling Lyme disease.

However, in a recent Instagram post, Lavigne shared the exciting news that she is alive and "putting together" new music that "will be here before (we) know it".

"To my fans, I just want to thank everyone for their patience as I work on putting together this new album," she shared in the update.

"It's been a long recovery and I want to make sure that this is perfect for you guys. You only deserve my best effort and that's what I'm going to deliver. I can't wait to share the new music I've been working on, I promise it will be here before you know it," she wrote.Back in March, Lavigne announced that she had signed a new record deal with BMG, before confirming that her sixth studio album will release this year.
