Marianne Faithfull has tested positive for coronavirus and is being treated in hospital in London.
Marianne’s reps confirmed the news, adding: ‘She is stable and responding to treatment. We all wish her well and a full and speedy recovery,’ per Rolling Stone.
The singer’s long-time friend Penny Arcade had told the magazine that Marianne had been self-isolating but had developed a cold.
She went into hospital on Monday as a precaution and was tested for coronavirus, which came back positive.
Marianne has remained hospitalised after developing pneumonia, and she has other prior health issues including hepatitis C.
She had also battled breast cancer in 2016, and has been open about her past struggles with drug abuse and anorexia.
Penny added in a Facebook post: ‘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.”
