Marianne Faithfull has been discharged from the hospital, after a 22-day battle with coronavirus.
The 73-year-old songstress thanked NHS staff for their care throughout her hospital stay, helping to nurse her back to health.
Making a statement over Twitter, her team said: “We are really happy to say that Marianne has been discharged from hospital today, 22 days after being admitted suffering from the symptoms of Covid-19. She will continue to recuperate in London.
“Marianne thanks you all for your kind messages of concern which have meant a great deal through what is a such a difficult time for so many.
“She is also very grateful to all the NHS staff who cared for her at the hospital and, without doubt, saved her life.”

Later in the month, her longtime pal Penny Arcade released a statement about her condition, saying: “Marianne Faithfull is in hospital in London having tested positive for Covid 19. She went in this past Tuesday.
“She has withstood and survived so much in her life – including being Marianne Faithfull, that to be taken down by a virus would be such a tragedy.

Her ex-husband John Dunbar later gave an update on her condition, explaining Marianne was struggling to speak.
The gallerist and collector said: “She can barely speak and no visitors.”
