British singer and actress Marianne Faithfull has contracted the corona virus. The 73-year-old is being treated for lung disease in a London hospital, music industry service Republic Media wrote on Twitter, citing Faithfull’s manager Francois Ravard. Her condition is stable and she responds to the treatment.
–
Faithfull was one of the most famous singers of the 60s – not least because of her relationship with Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones, who together with his guitarist Keith Richards wrote the first hit for the then 17-year-old: “As Tears Go By”.
–
Faithfull also had success later, among others in 1979 with the album “Broken English”. She once left her past as drug addicts and depressed behind, she said in an interview.
