"The marriage was quickly annulled once Aaliyah's family and the public found out," reported the Chicago Sun-Times, but more troubling allegations involving underage girls would continue to pile up around Kelly. He even had the guts to name her debut album, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number. He illegally married Aaliyah in 1994 when she was 14 and he was more than a decade her senior. He became the producer and lead songwriter for her debut album. Kelly was a rising producer when he met teenage singer Aaliyah Haughton. "He was a beautiful person and he touched my life, deeply." "It was worth every minute, truly," she says. She speaks graciously of her time with rock stars and fondly recalls their time together. Nevertheless, Maddox doesn't seem to see herself as a victim. I wasn't really allowed to go very many places with him," she claimed. "He always left me with his security locked in the room. He and Maddox would continue to see each other for the next few years, though he tightly controlled Maddox's movements when they were together. And I turned around and, look, there was Jimmy sitting in the corner of the room with a hat and a cane saying, 'I told you I'm gonna have you.'"Īpparently, Page's flair for dramatics didn't end on the guitar. "He told me was going to be with me, and I said no, he wasn't, and he said, 'Yes, I am.' Then we all ended up at the Rainbow, and Richard Cole says to me, 'Get in the bloody car and if you move, I'll have your head.' Next thing you know, I'm at the hotel, and I'm walking down the hall, and next thing you know, I'm pulled into this door. "What happened is that I was kidnapped, literally," Maddox said once in a documentary. In her words, Page had Zeppelin manager Richard Cole "kidnap" her (Cole is also known as the man responsible for the infamous Zeppelin "mud shark" incident.) Maddox was just 14 when their relationship started Page was 28. In fact, she is better known for her relationship with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page. Lori Maddox lost her virginity to David Bowie, but he wasn't the only rock star she would sleep with during her groupie days. I went to concerts in limos with police escorts. I got to hang out with some of the most amazing, most beautiful, most charismatic men in the world. "I feel like I was very present," Maddox told Thrillist. It's worth noting that Maddox doesn't have any regrets about her experience with Bowie, noting that she would continue to see him on and off for 10 years after their first sexual encounter. The two would later have a threesome with Starr. Then, months later, she and fellow underage groupie Sable Starr ended up in a hotel room with Bowie, and the rock star took Maddox into a bathroom, got in a bath with her, and then had sex with her. (Bowie was in his mid-20s.) According to her, Bowie pursued her, but she initially rejected him. Here are 11 rock stars who have been linked to underage women.Īs we detailed after Bowie's death, David Bowie had strong links to the Baby Groupies of Los Angeles, and famous groupie Lori Maddox (often spelled Mattix) has repeatedly told the story of how she lost her virginity to Bowie when she was just 14. Some of the girls - who are now grown women - linked to the men on this list have steadfastly maintained that their relationships with rock stars were consensual and overall positive experiences in their lives.
And for some reason, many of the rich, powerful rock stars, who in their sexual primes could presumably sleep with anyone they chose, gravitated toward girls not old enough to drive. The Beatles' opening track on their debut album, "I Saw Her Standing There," begins with the line, "She was just 17 / You know what I mean?" "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" idealizes future sexual potential ("Those little eyes so helpless and appealing / One day will flash and send you crashing through the ceiling"). Chuck Berry released "Sweet Little Sixteen" in 1958. Pop culture's fascination with teenagers is nothing new. Often, it seems, those women were underage - girls, not women. Browse through the annals of rock history, and you'll find, just right of the spotlight, the women with whom the most famous and sexually appealing men of the era chose to spend time.
