The Guns'N'Roses rocker says he was stopped in his tracks at the age of 8 when he bumbled into a room only to see the Ziggy Stardust legend hanging out completely starkers with his ma, Ola.

The British-born guitarist claims his late mum shared a 'mystery romance' to the Ashes to Ashes singer whilst working as Bowie's costume designer during his 'Thin White Duke' phase in the mid-seventies – a time when Bowie was married to first wife, US model Angie Bowie.

The 47-year-old Sweet Child O' Mine star told Aussie radio Triple M:  'He was always over - they were always together. I caught them naked once.

'They had a lot of stuff going on, but my perspective was limited.'

'Looking back on it, I know exactly what was going on. When I look back on that whole combination of people, I can only imagine how freaky it was.'

Revealing his mum's chemistry with the music icon, he continued: 'My mum started working with David professionally at first. I'm pretty sure that's how it started.'

'Then it turned into some sort of mysterious romance that went on for a while after that.'

'She did his wardrobe for his whole 'Thin White Duke' period and 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' movie that he did. She did all that and he was around for a while.''

Slash's parents parted company in 1974 and his mum passed away in 2009.
Bowie, 65, was married to Angie throughout the seventies before their divorced in 1980. They share son Zowie Bowie. In 1992 he wed Somali model Iman. Slash is set to tour the UK in October.
