Mexican actress Angélica Aragón's David Bowie friendship claims met with skepticism

Mexican actress Angélica Aragón has sparked debate with her assertion of a past friendship with music icon David Bowie. During an interview on Nayo Escobar's YouTube channel, Aragón shared anecdotes from her youth, including her time studying theater in London.

“

My husband was a bassist for David Bowie, so we were very good friends with him, I have, well... I haven't seen him in a long time.

Aragón, who married Indian musician Shajid Khan at 19, moved to England to pursue her studies. Her background in ballet led her to the London Contemporary Dance School. She revealed that her husband played bass for David Bowie, leading to a friendship with the artist during the "Aladdin Sane" period. "My husband was a bassist for David Bowie, so we were very good friends with him," Aragón stated.

She further recounted meeting other prominent musicians of the era, such as Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, describing it as "that world of rock in England at that time." Aragón also recalled an instance where Bowie singled her out from a crowd at a concert in Mexico City in 1997, allowing her backstage access while denying others.

“

Yes, very good friends with him, it was the era of 'Aladdin Sane', my husband played in his band, they were colleagues.

However, Fernando Aceves, a Mexican photographer known for his work with music legends including Bowie, expressed doubt about Aragón's claims. Aceves shared his skepticism on Instagram, questioning the actress's statements about her alleged friendship with the legendary musician.
