David Bowie seduced Tina Turner by going naked and wearing one of her wigs

Tina Turner was seduced by David Bowie after he wore one of her famous wigs - and not much else.

The music icons got together back in 1985 when she toured the UK, her long-serving former personal assistant claims.

Confidant Eddy Hampton Armani has given a tell-all interview about life with legend Tina, who he worked with over two decades.

Eddy, 62, says British music icon David blew her away by having some fun at her hotel in Birmingham.

Tina’s friend told The Sun on Sunday he even belted out her hit song Rolling On The River as they fooled around.

Eddy said: “I arrived to see their sound-check on stage and they were teasing each other. Later they went back to the hotel and had the sushi.

“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.

“Then Tina started laughing and said, ‘He went to have a shower, then he walks out, stark naked, wearing one of my spare wigs.

“He started singing Rolling On The River and was dancing just like me’.”

Eddy, who worked for the star for more than 20 years, also revealed her big crush.

Tina also fancied Blade Runner actor Rutger Hauer, he said.

But “her world came crashing down” when he didn’t respond to her request to appear in one of her videos.

Tina turned 80 at the end of last year and she shared a health update with her fans.

She shared a joyful video on her Twitter page saying: “Yes, I am 80

“What did I think – How did I think I would be at 80? Not like this! How is this?

“Well, I look great. I feel good. I have gone through some very serious sickness that I am overcoming. So it is like having a second chance at life.

“I’m happy to be an 80-year-old woman.”
