Angie Bowie: 'I didn't care about David's lovers, I was the queen'

Angie Bowie, ex-wife of David Bowie, in a recent interview with The Times, reveals how she helped shape David Bowie's sexually provocative image during the Ziggy Stardust era, primarily due to her desire to avoid pregnancy. She states that her family in Cyprus would not have supported such a development. Additionally, she shares her experience of a relationship with a woman in Connecticut, which forced her to leave to avoid the consequences of homosexuality at the time. Angie and David Bowie had agreed from the beginning of their acquaintance that they were bisexual, and Angie believed that highlighting this side of David would be effective for his promotion. The interview emphasizes Angie's contribution to Bowie's career, but also her personal story and the decisions she made. David Bowie, in a 2017 documentary, had stated that he and Mick Ronson were the personification of rock and roll dualism.
