The bond shared by David Bowie and Mick Jagger transcended the realms of friendship, delving into the spheres of music, drugs, women, and s-x.
While the details of their relationship remain speculative, it adds a layer of curiosity to the narrative, challenging societal perceptions of the time.
The linchpin in this saga is Angela, Bowie's ex-wife, who, post-divorce, unveiled a startling encounter: discovering Bowie and Jagger asleep together, unclothed, in her bed. The revelation came after a decade-long marriage, shedding light on the complex dynamics within Bowie's personal life.
The Bowie-Jagger connection began in 1973, amid Bowie's Ziggy Stardust era, a pinnacle of glam rock challenging societal norms, particularly regarding s----lity. Jagger, still discreet about his preferences, connected with Bowie and his wife, Angela, who openly embraced their bis----lity and shared partners, as detailed in Christopher Andersen's biography, "Mick: The Wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger."
Their camaraderie flourished, witnessed at various events, from Muhammad Ali's fight in San Diego to London's Tramp nightclub and a Diana Ross concert. Bowie's influence extended to introducing Jagger to the realm of gay cinema, a testament to their shared experiences.
In Wendy Leigh's unauthorized biography, "Bowie: The Biography," it is suggested that Jagger actively participated in the s-x parties hosted by Bowie and Angela. The ex-model Vicky Hodge, recalling those events, claimed Bowie watched as Jagger engaged with Angela.
Angela Barnett entered Bowie's life in 1969, marrying in 1970, and their union inspired several of Bowie's compositions. Despite a decade-long relationship and the birth of their son, Duncan, the couple divorced in 1980, with Bowie compensating Angela with £300,000.
A decade later, Angela, released from her "legal muzzle," disclosed details on national television, claiming Bowie's bis---ality and alleging encounters between Bowie and Jagger. The revelation sparked controversy, with Jagger dismissing it as "nonsense," and Bowie's lawyer categorically denying any homos---al affair.
Paul Trynka, in his Bowie biography, expressed skepticism, stating that the idea of complete openness between Bowie and Jagger was inconceivable. The intricate dynamics of their relationship remain shrouded in mystery, adding an enigmatic chapter to the legends of Bowie and Jagger.
