Marianne Faithfull’s ex-husband has given a heartbreaking update on the condition of the singer - revealing that she is unable to speak after being struck down with coronavirus.
A friend of the 73-year-old As Tears Go By singer delivered the news on Saturday that Marianne had been hospitalised with coronavirus symptoms earlier in the week.
And the update included a statement form Marianne’s 77-year-old artist ex-husband John Dunbar - who was married to the singer between 1965 and 1966.
John revealed that Marianne was struggling to speak - and also explained that coronavirus restrictions at hospital were preventing the star from receiving visitors. “She can barely speak and no visitors,” the British artist is quoted as reporting.
