Marianne broke onto the scene at only 17 after performing at various venues throughout London in her teenage years. She released her debut album the following year, and her highly publicized relationship with Mick Jagger started soon afterward. Marianne left her first husband and child in order to be with Mick and ended up losing custody of that child as a result. After her relationship with Mick dissolved in 1970, Marianne attempted suicide.
After her suicide attempt, Marianne had a nervous breakdown and was homeless for a few years while maintaining an addiction to heroin. At the end of the 1970s, she released a successful comeback album by the name of Broken English. Although the album was successful, her disastrous Saturday Night Live appearance promoting it proved that Marianne still wasn’t all there.
After over a decade of living in squalor, Marianne finally went to rehab in 1985. Though the treatment was successful, Marianne fell in love with a fellow patient during her time at the facility and the patient committed suicide while she was there. Marianne dedicated her subsequent album to the patient, Howard Tose. The album was 1987's Strange Weather, and it showcased Marianne using her new weathered voice as a blues singer.
Despite all that she’s been through, Marianne is still at it today! Having recently overcome a long battle with COVID-19 that saw her hospitalized, the singer is preparing the release of her latest album. Join Facts Verse as we take a look at the unimaginable tragedies of Marianne Faithfull.
