A Tad Confusing
There are many people who are confused by Bowie’s love life. He himself declared he was gay in an interview in 1972 during his debut as Ziggy Stardust. According to author David Buckley, if Ziggy managed to confuse his audience, a big part of it centered on the topic of sexuality. In a 1976 interview with Playboy, Bowie stated, “It’s true, I am a bisexual.”

“But I can’t deny that I’ve used that fact very well. I suppose it’s the best thing that ever happened to me.” From his lips to our ears (or eyes). Before Iman, Bowie married Mary Angela “Angie” Barnett in 1970. They had an open marriage, and she openly supported his claim of bisexuality and alleged that Bowie even had a relationship with Mick Jagger.
