Marianne Faithfull in hospital with Covid 19.

No news source. Just heard from Penny Arcade, a mutual friend who is a longtime friend of Marianne’s.

Marianne Faithfull is in hospital in London having tested positive for Covid 19. She went in this past tuesday.
Please pray for her !
She has withstood and survived so much in her life - including being Marianne Faithful, that to be taken down by a virus would be such a tragedy. I spoke to her last week and she was hiding out from the virus but she has caregivers and someone brought in to her.
I wrote to her much loved ex husband John Dunbar....He said
"So far so good.But also that she can barely speak and no visitors."

shit gets really down in there. We had a choir practice in WA that led to numerous positives and I think at least one death.

has been working with her in the filming of her biopic. I think production had started.

All my thoughts are with her and Lucy as well.

She is so cool and I knew then if she were merely to meet me that the scrawny Englishman wouldn't stand a chance. And besides, I played better harp.

One of my first thoughts seeing this is how many young folks even know who she is.

Faithfull at the height of the British Invasion. What a time, what a place, what a person . . . the center of the center of everything that was happening.
