MARIANNE FAITHFULL - HEART ATTACK, OR NO HEART ATTACK?

Photograph by Robert F. Gabella

Hmmm…since Faithfull's notorious smoking had already  stopped after her prior collapse from exhaustion in Milan, in 2004, the first article seems to be blended information, and thus cannot be relied upon as completely accurate.

I trust more Faithfull's own assessments anyhow; after all - NOBODY knows Marianne like Marianne knows Marianne - and since her current movie Marie Antoinette (2006) is already in post production, and since she was in the middle of a European tour when this news was first reported (presumably to pick up where the cancelled Milan date had left off), I suspect the rumors are nothing more than that.

Though it is difficult to account for the comments of boyfriend/manager Francois Ravard, and other comments which were attributed to the director of Dorian Gray, BuzzMix® feels confident in speaking for Marianne Faithfull fans in Chicago and everywhere in hoping that she is in excellent and renewed health, and that these rumors are unfounded.

British rocker Marianne Faithfull is devastated doctors ordered her to pull out of new movie The Picture Of Dorian Gray - after she suffered a recent heart attack. The 58-year-old singer was thrilled she'd won the lead role as countess in the movie adaptation of Oscar Wilde's celebrated morality tale. But she had to quit the film just before filming was due to start, after she was rushed to hospital with severe chest pains. Faithfull's manager and boyfriend Francois Ravard tells gossip website PageSix.Com, "Marianne really wanted to do it but had to pull out at the last moment. She had a slight heart attack, but she's fine now." The health scare has finally prompted Faithfull to stop smoking her trademark cigarettes.

FAITHFULL SLAMS 'HEART ATTACK' LIES

 British rocker Marianne Faithfull is shocked by reports she recently suffered a heart attack -- because she insists she is in good health.

Page Six reported the 58-year-old singer pulled out of the new movie "The Picture of Dorian Gray" after being rushed to the hospital with severe chest pains.

But Faithfull is furious no one checked with her before printing the unfounded story, because her loved ones have worried about her for no reason.

She fumes, "These horrible rumors are completely untrue. I haven't had a heart attack, not even a slight one.

"It's upsetting that so many of my friends and family have been forced to worry unnecessarily about my health.

"I'm currently on tour in Europe and I want to reassure everyone coming to the shows that I'm OK."
