Marianne Faithfull recovers from cancer – three-month tour starts in March 2007
Marianne Faithfull has made such a successful recovery from breast cancer that doctors have given the go-ahead for her to resume touring commitments in spring next year.
Marianne was diagnosed with cancer at the end of September and underwent surgery in France on Wednesday 11th October. Because the disease was caught at its very earliest stages, however, no further treatment has been necessary and she is making a rapid return to full health.
Marianne was originally due to have embarked on a three month tour of Europe and North America at the start of October. These concerts are now being re-scheduled, with the opening date already confirmed for Budapest in Hungary on Monday 12th March 2007.
She says: “It has been an extraordinary experience and, in many ways, extremely positive. I didn’t realise how many true friends I had. I feel so lucky and loved and thank everybody for all their good thoughts.”
