Marianne Faithfull was interviewed by Andrew Marr on the AM Show this morning on BBC1 - he asked her about 'turning down Morrissey' and she said he had called her up when they were both living in Ireland. She was quite vague but it seemed it was for a joint interview but having writing commitments at the time she said she couldn't be bothered to go to Dublin, and said no.

Yours Faithfully - BBC News video

Former teenage star, ex-girlfriend of Mick Jagger and "nicotine contralto" Marianne Faithfull has spoken about the highs and lows of her life.

On the BBC's Andrew Marr show, she said her comeback collaborations with artists like Jarvis Cocker and Nick Cave were "great fun", and explained the truth behind the rumour that she turned down Morrissey.

      must be time

      She knows Morrissey is fond of her music, I donno
      likewise

      but Idare to write yes, she covered a ROTT song
      for her last release, which were all [or lots]
      of covers, but they released it, and Morrissey
      wasn't on it, after checking Ifound out, there is a deluxe 3 CD version, whivh I still waiting for to arrive at the record shop

      the album is called something like

      easy stay, easy go [or something like that]

      She's an Icon, like Patti Smith

      so if you don't go down in music history, don't
      post lame comments

      She only talked about it for a minute - what she said was that they were both in Ireland at the time and he called her up and wanted to meet, but it would have been in Dublin and she was working somewhere else and didn't feel like going to Dublin. She also said something about how "it would have been some celebrity thing" (not a direct quote, I'm paraphrasing) and implied that she wasn't into that at that moment. My impression was that maybe it would have been something more structured than just meeting for a cup of tea or whatnot and that she was just busy with other things at the moment.
      And for those who don't know who she is and can open videos:

      You might also go have a look at the movie Girl On A Motorcycle:

      It's not a great film but it's fun to watch.

  • for over 40 years now. She's a liar with an inflated image of her own importance.
