For decades, fans of both Lulu and David Bowie have speculated about the true nature of their relationship. Now, at the age of 75, Lulu has finally confirmed what many had long suspected: she did, indeed, have an intimate encounter with the Starman himself.
Speaking candidly, the Scottish singer revealed that her connection with Bowie went beyond the professional partnership that fans witnessed when they collaborated in the early 1970s. Their version of The Man Who Sold the World became a UK hit in 1974, and the chemistry between them was undeniable.
Lulu described Bowie as the “coolest dude on the block,” recalling how their paths crossed during one of the most vibrant and creative periods in rock history.
“I can’t really remember all the details,” she admitted with a laugh. “Only to say that he got me there and we’re in his room, and you know, we performed the acts. I don’t have to go into bloody details because I can’t actually remember details, but I wouldn’t share them anyway. I do have boundaries.”
A friendship that became more
While Lulu had previously spoken about their “amazing bond,” this is the first time she has confirmed that they were more than friends. She insists, however, that the experience was not something she dwells on, instead, it’s part of a colourful life filled with extraordinary encounters.

Back in the 1970s, Bowie was at the height of his Ziggy Stardust fame, redefining music and style while shocking and thrilling audiences worldwide. For Lulu, working alongside him was not only professionally significant but also personally unforgettable.
Remembering Bowie’s legacy
David Bowie passed away in 2016, leaving behind one of the most influential catalogues in modern music history. His fearless artistry and constant reinvention inspired millions, and stories like Lulu’s offer fans another glimpse into the man behind the legend.
For Lulu, who has enjoyed her own six-decade career in music, television, and theatre, this revelation is another chapter in her remarkable story. From winning the Eurovision Song Contest with Boom Bang-a-Bang in 1969 to her enduring presence on stage and screen, Lulu remains one of Britain’s most cherished entertainers.

Lulu’s revelation may not come as a shock to long-time followers, but it does add another layer to the myth and magic of Bowie, and highlights the wild, free-spirited times they both thrived in.
