David Bowie once managed to seduce Tina Turner wearing nothing but one of her wigs, her former PA claimed.
Yep, it's exactly how it sounds, the two music icons who took the 70s by storm once had somewhat of a fling when the late 'Heroes' hit-maker donned one of the late Queen of Rock and Roll's wigs.
Way back when in 1985, Turner invited Bowie to duet 'Tonight' and 'Let's Dance' with her during the UK leg of her Private Dancer tour back in 1985 and, unsurprisingly, he accepted the invitation.

Rocking up to the city of Birmingham in England for the ultimate music collab, it's clear that Bowie didn't take much time getting to business trying to woo Turner.
According to the 'Proud Mary' star's long-time assistant, Eddy Hampton Armani, the British musician had already made his intentions crystal clear.
The assistant revealed to The Sun: "She told me David had already told her many times, 'I want you'.
"I arrived to see their sound-check on stage and they were teasing each other."

According to the assistant, the pair went back to a hotel and had sushi.
He recalled: "The next morning I went to Tina’s room and she was acting really strangely. She said, ‘Oh my god, David is so naughty'.
"She told me David came on to her and she said, I thought, 'Oh, we will have a bit of fun'. And they did."
But, it's clear nothing could have prepared the assistant for what the legendary Turner was about to reveal to him.

The assistant remembered that Turner started laughing, before explaining the antics of the night before: "He went to have a shower, then he walks out, stark naked, wearing one of my spare wigs."
Now that would be a sight, 'Wiggy Stardust' - if you will.
Oh, and the seduction session didn't stop there.

The assistant went on to recall what Turner continued to reveal to him: "He started singing 'Rolling on the River' and was dancing just like me."
Going for a bold approach to the art of courting clearly paid off considering Turner was still in stitches from the whole ordeal a day after the fact.
Armani remembered: "David appeared at the top of a long flight of stairs on the stage. Tina turned around with the biggest smile that said, 'I had an exciting night'."
The star's assistant went on to say the atmosphere between the pair was absolutely 'electric'.

"They had fun," the assistant concluded, "it wasn’t love, it wasn’t an affair, it was just a moment of explosive chemistry."
Sorry if all you can imagine now when you hear 'Proud Mary' is David Bowie prancing around in one of Tina Turner's wigs...
