UK singer Marianne Faithfull has been hospitalised in London after being tested positive for coronavirus.
As Rolling Stone reports, the 73-year-old songwriter's reps confirmed the news in a statement over the weekend.
“Marianne Faithfull’s manager François Ravard has confirmed that Marianne is being treated for COVID-19 in hospital in London,” the statement reads.
“She is stable and responding to treatment. We all wish her well and a full and speedy recovery.”
Faithfull reportedly checked into a hospital last Monday out of caution after developing a cold and was then tested positive for COVID-19.
The news comes just months after it was announced that a biopic based on the Hampstead-born artist's 1994 memoir is in the works.
British-American actress Lucy Boynton will play the titular role, while BAFTA-nominated filmmaker Ian Bonhôte will direct.
