Which Classic Rocker Did Slash’s Mom Get Naked With?
August 29, 2012 8:37 PM In an interview with an Australian radio station, Slash revealed that his mother had an affair with a legendary rockstar.
“My mom started working professionally with David Bowie at first,” said Slash, whose mom was a costume designer. “I’m pretty sure that’s how it started and then it turned into some sort of mysterious romance that went on for a while after that.”
