Marianne Faithfull<\/a> is currently in a London hospital after testing positive for the coronavirus<\/a>, Rolling Stone<\/em> has confirmed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMarianne Faithfull\u2019s manager Francois Ravard has confirmed that Marianne is being treated for COVID-19 in hospital in London. She is stable and responding to treatment. We all wish her well and a full and speedy recovery,\u201d the singer\u2019s reps said in a statement Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Faithfull\u2019s longtime friend Penny Arcade told Rolling Stone<\/em> that the singer was sheltering in place following the United Kingdom\u2019s order to do so when she developed a cold. Out of caution, Faithfull checked herself into the hospital on Monday, where she tested positive for COVID-19. She remains hospitalized after developing pneumonia, Arcade said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The smoky-voiced chanteuse has a long history of health issues, including hepatitis C \u2013 a condition she\u2019s battled for decades \u2013 and a brief bout with breast cancer in 2016. Faithfull has also been open about her struggles with drug abuse and anorexia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Faithfull, who last released her late-career masterwork Negative Capacity<\/em> in 2018, is the latest musician to test positive for the novel coronavirus, a global pandemic that has contributed toward the deaths of Fountains of Wayne\u2019s Adam Schlesinger<\/a>, country singer Joe Diffie<\/a> and jazz patriarch Ellis Marsalis Jr. Beloved singer John Prine is also hospitalized<\/a> with COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n
