ADAM FAITH - FAITH 'DIED IN ARMS OF LOVER 40 YEARS HIS JUNIOR'

NEWS BY ARTIST ALPHABETICALLY


British pop star ADAM FAITH was with his 22-year-old lover TANYA ARPINO on the night he died.

The 62-year-old had just finished a stage show and had returned to his hotel room, where Arpino was waiting for him, when he suffered a heart attack.

Waitress Tanya says, "It was like being in a horror movie. Adam was rushed through the hotel lobby on a trolley. A girl said as he was put into the ambulance, 'Don't worry, your dad will be alright'. I thought, 'If they knew who I really was'.

"It was a nightmare. One minute he was fine, the next minute he was fighting for his life.

"I was in this hospital room watching as they tried to save Adam, giving him a heart massage. I can't explain what it was like seeing the person you love die in front of you."

Tanya says Faith's wife Jackie, 60, was furious about their affair and banned her from attending the singer's funeral.

She adds, "I wasn't allowed to go to his funeral. Jackie said 'Absolutely no way'.

"I can understand why she said that but then I thought, I was the last person to see Adam."
