Marianne Faithfull, who has passed away at 78, openly admitted she "didn't do conventional."
A convent-educated teenager, she left school after crossing paths with the Rolling Stones. Once the delicate-faced embodiment of innocence, she soared to chart success before succumbing to the grip of alcohol and hard drugs.
Following her breakup with Mick Jagger, Faithfull spent years battling heroin addiction while living on the streets of Soho.
Yet, given the opportunity to revive her music career, she seized it—ultimately releasing over 20 albums. Her once-sweet voice, now whisky-soaked and dusky, bore the weight of her turbulent past, transforming pain into hauntingly powerful music.
