During an interview with The Guardian in 2021, her collaborator on her final album 2021âs She Walks in Beauty, Warren Ellis, shared, âShe wasnât actually meant to make it through. That she survived it â itâs insane.â
However, there was lasting damage, as Faithfull shared, âThree things: the memory, fatigue and my lungs are still not OK â I have to have oxygen and all that stuff. The side-effects are so strange. Some people come back from it but they canât walk or speak. Awful.â
