Feisty singer battles breast cancer

SINGER and novelist Marsha Hunt — an icon of beauty and boldness in the Swinging Sixties, is as feisty as ever almost four years after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

“Being able to say I have had a fabulous life affords one a lot less fear about death, especially as I have written books which I would leave behind — as well as children and grandchildren,” she said.

Ms Hunt, the mother of Mick Jagger’s first child, Karis Jagger, was treated for breast cancer at the Mater Private Hospital in Dublin.
