The English singer Marianne faithful has revealed that her ex-boyfriend, the drug dealer jean de breiteuil, "Accidentally killed" the frontman of The Doors, Jim Morrisonaccording to Jim Morrison publishes the British music magazine Mojo. In an interview, the singer and actress seems to confirm one of the many versions that have circulated about Morrison's death on July 3, 1971 in Paris, when he was 27 years old.
A doctor's report then reflected that the American singer died of heart failure, aggravated by alcohol abuse, but an autopsy was never carried out because the Gallic authorities did not consider that the death was due to violent causes. Consequently, many have argued that Morrison overdosed on heroin supplied by the also deceased De Breiteuil, Faithfull's sentimental partner at the time and known "camel" (Dealer) of famous people. The couple stayed those summer days in a Parisian hotel and De Breiteuil went to visit the leader of The Doors in his apartment on Rue Beautreillis, while Faithfull stayed in the room because, as she tells Mojo, “I had the intuition that there might be problems.
"I thought, 'I'm going to take a few Tuinal (barbiturates) and I'm not going there.' And he (De Breiteuil) went to see Jim Morrison and killed him. What I mean is that I am sure it was an accident »
Said Faithful, ex-girlfriend of Rolling Stone frontman Mick Jagger.
Poor bastard. Was the 'horse' too strong? Yes. And he died. And I didn't know anything about this. Anyway, everyone connected with the death of this poor boy is already dead. Except me".
As he declares in the interview, his confession now, 43 years later, is the consequence of the "incredible questions" that journalists ask him when he travels to London to "promote". Marianne Faithfull's new album, 'Give My Love to London', will be released on September 29 and features collaborations from artists such as Nick Cave, Roger Waters and Anna Calvi, among others.
