The interview in Mojo magazine is obviously from months back, as is usual with periodicals like this one. I got a look at a copy on a newsstand today, but the interview goes back to the last calendar year. "She Walks In Beauty" is going to be her latest record album, a tribute to the English Romantic poets. Marianne Faithfull is still mourning the loss of producer Hal Willner. Like her, he contracted COVID-19; unlike her, he did not recover, and died last year. Faithfull made the recording after being released from hospital. COVID-19's immediate effects were the loss of short-term memory, lung function, and her voice. She stated in the update interview that her lungs were very badly affected, but that they are healing now, adding, "My short-term memory is affected. But I'm told that when you have coronavirus as badly as I did, that happens. But your memory comes back, and mine is coming back. And my lungs are coming back too. I've made a beautiful record."
