Infected hip forces Marianne Faithfull to postpone tour
After breaking her hip in Rhodes in May 2014, Marianne Faithfull had emergency surgery. The hip continued to cause problems throughout the year and investigations have revealed that the prosthesis is infected. Marianne will now undergo surgery in Paris.
