“It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of the singer, songwriter and actress Marianne Faithfull,” a statement released by her spokesperson on Thursday, Jan. 30 said. “[I was] dependent on every possible neurotic thing – heroin, coke, pills, alcohol, sex and money,” she wrote in her autobiography Faithfull, calling herself a “garden-variety drug addict.” “The first year I was in treatment I was dying to uncover a serious psychosis that I could pin it all on, but nothing like that ever showed up. Throughout her life, Faithfull faced many health scares, including breast cancer and hepatitis C. She also contracted COVID-19 in April 2020 and battled long-term side effects, such as memory and lung problems, as well as fatigue.
