PARTING SHOT 

It was announced this evening that iconic 1960s singer and actress Marianne Faithfull has died at the age of 78.

“It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of the singer, songwriter and actress Marianne Faithfull,” a spokesperson said.

“Marianne passed away peacefully in London today, in the company of her loving family. She will be dearly missed.”

Faithfull began her singing career in 1964, after being discovered by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham. Her hits included As Tears Go By, which was written by The Rolling Stones’ Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
