Marianne Faithfull has thanked the doctors and nurses who she says saved her life after she was admitted to hospital with coronavirus symptoms.
The 73-year-old singer was discharged from hospital last month after spending just over three weeks getting treatment.
Faithfull shared a photo of herself at home on Twitter, writing: “I would like to say to all the people who cared for me and thought of me, who sent me love, people I know, people I have never met, thank you for helping me get better.”
She added: “I want to thank the doctors and nurses who were so good and basically saved my life!
“Thank you all again for all your care, love, thoughts, prayers and wishes. All my love, Marianne.”
Faithfull was reportedly in a “stable condition” while in hospital, according to her agent Francois Ravard.
Upon her release from hospital, her agent said in a statement: “We are really happy to say that Marianne has been discharged from hospital today, 22 days after being admitted suffering from the symptoms of Covid-19.
