Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne decide to split

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      As dedicated readers of the Us Weekly, OK! Magazine, and the Hanna Herald know, rumours have flown for two years about the health of Avril Lavigne’s marriage to Nickleback’s Chad Kroeger.

      That the two only got married two years ago says pretty much all you need to know about the state of their union. Periodically team Chavril has taken to the Interweb to assure fans that all is well. Even though Lavigne celebrated her 30th birthday without Kroeger in Las Vegas last September, Kroeger sent out a cryptic tweet suggesting all was well.

      Reality came crashing down this morning. Kroeger, 40, and Lavigne, 30, have announced that they are calling it quits.

      The pride of Napanee, Ontario posted a wedding-day photo on her Instagram account that was accompanied by the caption, “It is with heavy heart that Chad and I announce our separation today. Through not only the marriage, but the music as well, we’ve created many unforgettable moments. We are still, and forever will be, the best of friends, and will always care deeply for each other. To all our family, friends and fans, thank you sincerely for the support.”

      The Twitter account for the Vancouver-based Nickelback has been silent, the last posting coming August 14 with the announcement that the band was cancelling its No Fixed Address World Tour due to Chad Kroeger having vocal problems. As opposed to, you know, wife problems.

      ... I happened to be stopped on the corner of Burrard and Georgia a couple of days ago and saw these two standing on the corner waiting to cross. They didn't look too happy. Perhaps they were just leaving (or heading to...) a lawyer's office...?

      Another one bites the dust!!
