Ava Cherry, a former backup singer for David Bowie, has recently come forward with claims of a passionate love affair involving herself, Bowie, and his close friend Mick Jagger.
According to Cherry, their relationship began in 1972 when they met at a Stevie Wonder after-party, and she was immediately captivated by the rock star.
This encounter marked the beginning of a long-term live-in relationship between Cherry and Bowie, which was ultimately brought to an end by Bowie’s then-wife Angie after a heated argument.
Cherry’s revelations have reignited old rumors that Bowie and Jagger were romantically involved, rumors that both rockers have vehemently denied in the past.
As Cherry recounts her experiences, it becomes clear that her involvement with Bowie went beyond being just a backup singer.
She describes their initial meeting, where Bowie approached her with compliments about her unique style, and they proceeded to enjoy a dinner together, followed by listening to his latest album in a hotel room.
However, their intimate morning together was interrupted by the arrival of a woman who turned out to be Angie, Bowie’s wife at the time.
Despite this unexpected encounter, Bowie assured Cherry that it was not a cause for concern as he and Angie had an open marriage.
Cherry eventually became Bowie’s backup singer and live-in lover, describing their connection as something she had never experienced before.
She also admits to having intimate encounters with both Bowie and Jagger, referring to herself as the “tasty filling” in their relationship.
However, she emphasizes that their interactions were consensual and that they all remained friends.
Cherry’s claims align with insinuations made by Bowie’s ex-wife Angie in her 1993 book, where she hinted at a romantic relationship between Bowie and Jagger.
These suggestions were further reinforced by author Christopher Andersen in his controversial 2012 biography of Jagger, where he alleged a long-term affair between the two rock icons.
Andersen even claimed that Angie discovered Bowie and Jagger together in bed, suggesting a deeper connection between them.
Despite these allegations, both Bowie and Jagger have consistently denied any romantic involvement with each other.
Cherry’s account, however, adds another layer to the ongoing speculation about their relationship.
She recounts Angie’s initial indifference upon finding her in bed with Bowie and Jagger, as if it were a normal occurrence.
According to Cherry, Angie even brought refreshments into the room, seemingly unfazed by the situation.
While Cherry’s claims may shed new light on the complex dynamics within Bowie’s personal life during that period, it is important to remember that these are personal accounts from one individual.
The truth behind the rumors surrounding Bowie and Jagger’s relationship may never be fully known.
Nevertheless, Cherry’s story adds another chapter to the ongoing fascination with the lives of these iconic rock figures.
