New Book Revisits David Bowie Mick Jagger Tryst


A new book rehashes the well worn tale of how David Bowie's ex-wife Angie caught him in bed with Mick Jagger.

...Bowie and Jagger were soon spotted everywhere together without their wives: sitting ringside at the Muhammad Ali-Ken Norton bout, hanging out at the London disco Tramp, yelling and stomping their approval at a Diana Ross concert, or just cuddling up together on a hotel room couch. 
Neither superstar complained when one enterprising photographer snapped the two men in a moment of repose, Bowie tenderly cradling Mick’s head in his lap. Bowie also took Mick to gay films. “David,” said British TV producer Kevin Kahn, “is a born proselytizer.” By October 1973, the Bowies were living on Oakley Street, just a stroll from Cheyne Walk. 
Angie had been out of town for a few days when she returned home one morning and went straight to the kitchen to make some tea. The Bowies’ maid, who had arrived about an hour earlier, approached the lady of the house with a peculiar look on her face. 
“Someone,” she told Angie, “is in your bed.” Angie went upstairs to her bedroom, slowly pushed the door open, and there they were: Mick Jagger and David Bowie, naked in bed together, sleeping. Both men woke up with a start. “Oh, hello,” said Bowie, clearly taken by surprise. “How are you?” “I’m fine,” Angie replied. “Do you want some coffee?” 
Mick, blinking awake, remained silent. Angie returned a few minutes later with coffee and orange juice on a tray. While it was not a case of coitus interrupts, Angie “felt absolutely dead certain that they’d been screwing. It was so obvious, in fact, that I never even considered the possibility that they hadn’t been screwing.” 
Angie was upset at the time, unsure if David was serious about Mick — and, if he was, how she could ever compete with him. “Even though I cared,” she said, “there wasn’t much I was going to do about it . . . Maybe,” she tried to joke later, “they were writing ‘Angie’ when I caught them in bed together.” 
She left to do some errands, and when she returned that afternoon, Mick had already left. Oddly enough, while she attempted to discourage David from having an affair with Mick, Angie herself was vying for Jagger’s attention. “I wish it had been me with Mick,” she said. “I’ve always thought Mick must be a wild man in bed. He is a very sexy guy.”

Angie told this story a couple of years ago back in the late 80's/early 90's...she later recanted after a phone from either Bowie or Jagger's attorney.old news.

When people say that most of the people in the industry are in bed with one another... It was meant to be taken literally. Duh!

The reason for doing this -- so that the press could get an unobstructed view of Kim's outfit. Kim would pore over what the press was writing about her, and she would become upset if her picture didn't look good.
