When they first met, Mick was already ascending into the stratosphere of superstardom with The Rolling Stones, while Marianne was the ethereal beauty with a haunting voice, her breakout hit "As Tears Go By" written for her by none other than Mick and Keith Richards.
Theirs was a love story fueled by fame, poetry, music—and eventually, chaos.
For decades, fans were left to speculate about what truly happened behind closed doors. The rumors, the scandals, the heartbreak—all became part of rock folklore.
But now, Mick Jagger has broken his silence.
And what he’s revealed about his relationship with Marianne Faithfull has sent shockwaves through the world of music—and beyond.

According to Mick, their connection was instant, electric even.
"We were drawn to each other like moths to a flame," he confessed in a recent interview.
At the time, Marianne was only 17 years old, fresh-faced and mesmerizing. Mick was captivated—not just by her beauty, but by her mind.
“She was one of the smartest people I had ever met,” Mick said. “We could talk for hours about books, art, everything beyond the music scene. She wasn’t just some girl at a party. She was extraordinary.”
But underneath the glamorous facade, dangerous currents were swirling.
The 60s were an age of experimentation—with drugs, with lifestyles, with boundaries. And Mick admits now that their relationship wasn’t just based on love—it was drenched in self-destruction.
"Looking back," he said, "we were addicted—not just to each other—but to everything that came with that world. The highs and the lows. The parties. The darkness."
Chapter 3: The Scandal That Almost Ruined Them 🕵️♂️🔥
One of the most infamous incidents that haunted Mick and Marianne’s relationship was the 1967 police raid on Keith Richards’ Redlands estate.
When the authorities stormed the house looking for drugs, they reportedly found Marianne in a compromising situation involving a fur rug—an incident that has been the subject of rumor and legend ever since.
For years, neither Marianne nor Mick spoke openly about what truly happened that night.
Until now.
In his shocking revelation, Mick confessed that the rumors were exaggerated, but the humiliation was real.
"It wasn’t the drugs that destroyed Marianne," Mick explained. "It was the aftermath—the way the media treated her. The public shaming. It broke something inside her."
