The legendary person who had a lasting impression on the music and entertainment industries passed away quietly in London, surrounded by her devoted family.
On social media, her team verified the news of her passing.

According to Deadline, Marianne Evelyn Gabriel Faithfull was born in Hampstead, London, on December 29, 1946. Her mother, Eva, was from an Austro-Hungarian aristocratic family, and her father, Major Robert Glynn Faithfull, was a British intelligence officer.
