They said: "It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of the singer, songwriter and actress Marianne Faithfull. Marianne passed away peacefully in London today, in the company of her loving family. She will be dearly missed." The singer-songwriter died on January 30.

Tragically, she had experienced ill health throughout her adult life and had battled bulimia, breast cancer and emphysema which was caused through smoking. In 2020, she was hospitalised for 22 days after falling ill with coronavirus and was not expected to survive.

But she recovered and a year later went on to release her 21st album, She Walks In Beauty. Following her battle with Covid-19, Marianne opened up about her health battles and financial situation, admitting she was "really quite desperate." She said lockdown had ruined many of her plans including a movie project which would have made her more financially secure.

Marianne was best known for her song As Tears Go By, which was written by her ex-boyfriend Jagger and his Rolling Stones bandmate, Keith Richards. She also appeared in the film The Girl on a Motorcycle and had a string of theatre credits under her belt.

A biopic directed by Ian Bonhôte was set to chronicle Marianne's tumultuous journey from homelessness in 1960s London to dating Jagger and finding fame, with Lucy Boynton cast to portray her. While she counted on the film's cheque to sustain her, circumstances took an unforeseen turn.

Speaking on the Broken Record podcast, Marianne said: "I really need the money," explaining that the pandemic and subsequent lockdown periods "f**ked" her up. Speaking about how ill she was, she said: "I got so ill, I nearly died." The actress and singer said she had "long-term Covid."

Following her health scare, she admitted she was hopeful she would be able to return to working. She said: "I've been working on my singing, practicing singing with a friend of mine who plays guitar, because I am really frightened that I wouldn't be able to sing anymore."

Marianne and Jagger dated for four years between 1966 and 1970 and had even planned to name their daughter Corrina, but she tragically suffered a miscarriage seven months into her in 1968. The heartbreaking loss of their daughter, as well as Jagger's cheating contributed to Marianne's drug issues.

In a touching tribute to Marianne, as "a wonderful friend, a beautiful singer and a great actress". In a post on social media, the rock legend penned: "I am so saddened to hear of the death of Marianne Faithfull. She was so much part of my life for so long. She was a wonderful friend, a beautiful singer and a great actress. She will always be remembered."
