The singer took to the social networking site to show her support as the Sum 41 frontman left hospital following the revelation his drinking almost killed him
Avril Lavigne has shown her support for ex-husband Deryck Whibley as he left hospital this week, by describing him as "family". The singer shared her thoughts for her ex and Sum 41 frontman Deryck, after he left hospital following shock revelations he was at risk of dying from alcohol consumption. Deryck revealed he had spent the last month in hospital with a collapsed liver and kidneys in a startling message on his website , and said his boozing has now reached the point where if he has one more drink he will die. Avril was keen to show her never-ending support, and after retweeting a link to the singer's website, she wrote: "Spoke to @Sum41 Deryck today. I am so proud of him. He is family to me and always will be. #StayStrongDeryck."
In the hard-hitting message, Deryck told his fans: "The reason I got so sick is from all the hard boozing I've been doing over the years. It finally caught up on me.
"I was drinking hard every day. Until one night. I was sitting at home, poured myself another drink around midnight and was about to watch a movie when all of a sudden I didn't feel so good.
"I then collapsed to the ground unconscious."
The 34-year-old was rushed to hospital by his fiancee where doctors sedated him for a week and placed him on IV drips.
