The singer, who will play in Brecht’s The Seven Deadly Sins this autumn and who curated a show that just opened at Tate Liverpool, says she’s trying to find some sort of peace. “What has happened in the past 10 years or so, and what has been my goal for as long as I can remember, is to bring me and Marianne Faithfull into some semblance of harmony. It was her doing drugs and drinking, her inside my head, so it has been tough. The Fabulous Beast, that’s what I call her.”
