Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley took Avril Lavigne's name when they were married, something that went under the radar during their four years of marriage. Now three years after their divorce was finalized, the singer has finally filed a petition to have his ex-wife's last name dropped.
The lead singer of punk-rock band Sum 41 has been hospitalised after he was attacked by three people in a bar in Japan. Deryck Whibley, the ex-husband of Avril Lavigne, was advised by doctors to cancel his upcoming performances, after an MRI scan showed his injuries included a slipped disc in his back.
