One afternoon I went round to do Angie\u2019s hair ahead of a special date \u2014 with Mickey Finn, a percussionist for T. Rex. She greeted me in her dressing gown then slipped off the robe, got into the bath and continued chatting. &#8216;It\u2019s OK,&#8217; she said, &#8216;David knows all about Mickey. We have an open marriage; we both have fun. Life is too boring to be with just one person.&#8217; &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Shortly afterwards, Suzi herself went on a date with David &#8211; and was stunned when he told her he&#8217;d be telling Angie all about their night together.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe wrote: &#8220;Not long afterwards, I witnessed the other side of this unconventional arrangement, when David asked if I could come over and do his hair. He greeted me with a big grin, holding my shoulders as he kissed me on both cheeks.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8216;You look nice,&#8217; he said, and I asked where Angie was. &#8216;Oh, she\u2019s off being her usual fabulous self&#8217;, he laughed. &#8216;I don\u2019t really want my hair cut. I wanted to see you. Let\u2019s go up to town and have dinner.&#8217;&#8230; Before I knew it his arm was around my waist and we were on our way to London&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;On the way back I thought about what was coming up. I wanted a job with him far more than a night in bed, but leaving gracefully felt complicated. We pulled into the driveway and he turned to me. &#8216;Well, Suzi, are you coming in?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I could have gone home, but part of me was curious. I wasn\u2019t that attracted to him, but as he held my eyes the distance between us closed and suddenly he was kissing me. It was a rush and before I knew what I was doing I was in his bedroom. I let my inhibitions go as he undressed me.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;When it was over he said he\u2019d have fun telling Angie all about it. I froze. &#8216;She\u2019ll understand,&#8217; he said, seeing my reaction. &#8216;She expects it \u2014 we have an understanding. It\u2019d be worse if I didn\u2019t tell her.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;He seemed a little impatient with me now, and a bit amused. &#8216;Don\u2019t be silly. I thought you understood.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>\nIf I was going to take part in this new world with its new permissive trends, I had to squash my grey suburban ideas and embrace it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDays later, Suzi spoke to Angie and was relieved when there was no discussion about her date with the &#8216;Suffragette City&#8217; hitmaker.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: &#8220;A couple of days went by before Angie called to talk about the next gig. She didn\u2019t say a word about my night with David. I was grateful. I didn\u2019t want to come on like a groupie; I wanted a full-time job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/life-boring-just-one-person-suzi-ronson-recalls-surprise-discovering-david-angie-bowies-open-marriage-1395625.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 March 2024 David Bowie&#8216;s wife &#8220;expected&#8221; him to tell her about his affairs.
