"Marianne thanks you all for your kind messages of concern which have meant a great deal through what is a such a difficult time for so many.
"She is also very grateful to all the NHS staff who cared for her at the hospital and, without doubt, saved her life."
Faithfull, 73, was one of the icons of the 1960s and was catapulted to fame at the age of just 17 singing "As Tears Go By", written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.
She has had a five-decade career as a singer-songwriter, and stage and film actress. But she has also had well-documented battles with drug addiction and health issues.
