Bowie's colourful, gender-bending sex life has included rumored relationships with Elizabeth Taylor and Bianca Jagger as well as ones - which the women have themselves confirmed - with Marianne Faithfull and Susan Sarandon. But he has also been linked with a string of men including Mick Jagger - rumours that were encouraged by Bowie's past claims to have been both gay and bi-sexual.
