POP legend MARIANNE FAITHFULL is taking six months off after collapsing because of ill health.
She was given the all-clear from breast cancer in November 2006 but is now suffering from "general mental, physical and nervous exhaustion".
Her spokesman said doctors had ordered her to "cease all work activities and rehabilitate" and that "the treatment and recovery should last around six months".

SIR MICK JAGGER is among those who sent messages of support to 61-year-old Miss Faithfull's central Paris flat.
She became a household name as the ROLLING STONES singer's lover in the Sixties.
A near neighbour in Paris said: "She is in a very bad way and we are very worried about her."

Oh God, what a lousy year  :(

When I saw her performing this spring she looked absolutely healthy and energetic - unlike her previous gig here, just befor her cancer diagnosis, when she did indeed seem out of it.

I'm hoping it's nothing more than her being tired cause of a heavy schedule.

Get some rest Marianne!  

best wishes to Marianne

The Sun may have a reputation for exaggeration when it suits them, etc, but they do have a good track record for exclusives and for unearthing stuff where the bare bones of a story may well be correct. They wouldnt have the readership that they have if their stories were consistently 100% wrong.

Marianne's not exactly on their radar for sensationalism in the way a story about Amy Winehouse or Pete Doherty would be, so no reason to presume they're making it up.

The neighbour's comment would suggest things arent too good. Never heard 'exhaustion' described so alarmingly before. Hope she gets well soon.

I am sorry to hear this news.  But thanks for posting it LJ.

Get Well SOON!!!!!

xxoo,

This is indeed sobering news...:( I do hope it's nothing more than exhaustion, and that Marianne makes a quick and complete recovery. I think taking 6 months off is a good idea, in this case.

The neighbor's comments are worrying too...made my heart sink...:(

MICK still cares about her ~ thats sweet. Hope she survives this.  :'(

" MICK still cares about her ~ thats sweet. Hope she survives this.  "


Concur ............. Bitch !

Get well Marianne.
