"I'm so excited for fans and friends from all over the world to join me and my very special guests for #FightLyme, which will benefit the Lyme community," she says. "It's going to be an evening to remember full of hope, great music and exciting surprises!"

Avril's #FightLyme event will be streaming at 1am UK time on October 25, with tickets on sale now. As well as the standard option, there's also a VIP Soundcheck Pass which includes, "Exclusive access to Avril’s pre-show soundcheck, including a very personal Q&A.
