By Alison Boshoff for the Daily Mail. Comedian David Baddiel said a friend had told him about Bowie's liaisons with a younger woman on holiday. Already a musical legend, David Bowie has attained a virtual god-like status since his death in January The subject of books, documentaries and endless tributes, he is almost bigger in death than he was in life.
All of which makes the recollection of Bowie as a middle-aged seducer of teenage groupies, shared via a podcast by comedian David Baddiel, feel wildly jarring. She and her best friend had one of many drinking nights with Bowie and ended up back at their shack with David.
Bowie was said to have slept with a year-old girl while on holiday in the Caribbean island of Mustique. It appears so. This week, the Mail has spoken to two women who were under the age of consent when they slept with Bowie. Man, woman, old or young. Finding out he was two-timing them, both attempted suicide. Sometimes, having sex was a way of gain an advantage. He used sex to endear himself to people, so they loved him and did things for him and worked hard to promote him.
It was the pure selfishness of wanting to succeed. But at other times, his promiscuity seemed more simply a habit which he enjoyed too much to consider amending. I had a wonderfully irresponsible promiscuous time. The sexual free-for-all characterised his open marriage to Angie, whom he wed in By his tour of America he was with Cyrinda Foxe, a year-old model.
She recalled that he sent for her while he was having sex with a groupie because he needed someone to talk to. Back in his home in Chelsea, the focal point was a 4ft deep bed known as the Pit, where he and Angie would host orgies.
