Marianne Faithfull, the iconic singer, songwriter, and actress, has passed away in London at the age of 76, as confirmed by her spokesperson. Renowned for her haunting voice, especially in her hit "As Tears Go By" in 1964, she faced significant challenges throughout her life, including addiction and a difficult relationship with Mick Jagger. Notably resilient, she produced 21 solo albums and overcame severe health issues, including a COVID-19 coma in 2020. Despite the hardships, her artistic spirit and contributions to music and film have left a lasting impact, and she is deeply missed by friends and fans alike.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of the singer, songwriter and actress Marianne Faithfull," her spokesperson said.
Her slow, haunting voice in her first hit, "As Tears Go By," in 1964 seemed to portend a darker side to the British pop sound.
But no matter how hard she fell, Faithfull always bounced back. She released 21 solo albums, including the critically acclaimed "Broken English" in 1979.
Her most recent comeback was in 2020 when she caught COVID-19 in the early days of the pandemic and fell into a coma.
