January 10, 2016 passed away from life the world's most famous musician, a real icon of modern rock music - David Bowie. In the last year of his life he fought against cancer, but the disease was stronger. All this time, like the previous 20 years, along with David Bowie was his wife - the famous black model Iman.
First wife of David Bowie
However, before meeting their true half, the couple had to go through several unsuccessful relationships and destroyed marriages. So, David Bowie, being a beginner musician, at one of the parties got acquainted with the model of Angela Barnett. This meeting happened in the late 60s of the XX century. Angela could look very bright, and also knew how to shock the audience, so it is not surprising that the girl was able to attract the attention of a rock musician. By the way, many believe that it was she who influenced David in terms of his scenic images and selection of a bright, prominent image. In 1970, young people were married.
This marriage lasted about 10 years, and a child appeared in it. The boy was named Duncan Zoe Heywood Jones (Jones is the real name of David Bowie).
Biography David Bowie at that time was very busy, and his wife, like himself, decided to adhere to a marriage of fairly free relationships. However, many absences from the house soon gave rise to jealousy on the part of both spouses, and the marriage eventually disintegrated, although Angela herself stated in an interview that she could well follow traditional family values, if only David asked her about it.
The wife of David Bowie Iman
The second and last wife of David Bowie was the black model Iman Abdulmajid. By the time she got to know the musician, she already had world fame and was known as the first dark-skinned model to appear on the cover of the fashion magazine Vogue. For Iman, this marriage was also not the first. In her youth she married a fellow student at the university, but this union did not last long, after which Iman decided to marry a basketball player Spencer Haywood. Later, Iman herself admitted that she and her chosen one had too little in common, so it is not surprising that this marriage ended quickly enough.
Iman and David Bowie met at the celebration of the birthday of the general hairdresser. According to the model, the famous rock musician attracted her and aroused interest. At the same time, the plume of rumors that followed David stopped and repelled her. Nevertheless, the acquaintance took place, and later neither David Bowie nor his wife could believe that everything would go so easily and smoothly. Relations also developed very smoothly.
The couple's wedding took place in 1992 in France, on this occasion David even composed music, which later became part of one of his albums. Since then, the pair has been practically inseparable for more than twenty years.
David Bowie's wife tried her hand at acting as an actress, and he continued his concert activity. In 2000, the couple had a daughter - Alexandria "Lexie" Jones. It's hard to believe, but windy and reckless in his youth, David Bowie was not only a faithful spouse, but even for a while interrupted his career in order to spend as much time with his family and raise a daughter. David Bowie's wife Iman became the mother for both children of the singer, formalizing the custody of Zoya's eldest son from her first marriage.
