David Bowie reveals the secret of his mismatched eyes
International

London
(ANI):
English
musician
David
Bowie
has
revealed
the
reason
behind
his
mismatched
eyes
–
love
rivalry.
In
an
interview
to
writer
Mark
Spitz
for
his
new
biography,
the
62-year-old
singer
opened
up
about
how
a
childhood
accident
left
him
looking
odd
and
feeling
"embarrassed".
"When
I
was
14
I
fell
in
love
with
a
girl.
I
was
crazy
about
her.
Only
trouble
was,
my
best
mate
had
a
bit
of
a
soft
spot
for
her
too,
but
I
was
the
winner," the
Daily
Express
quoted
Bowie
as
saying.
“I
moved
in
before
he'd
even
made
up
his
mind
about
how
to
approach
her.
Next
day
I
was
at
school
boasting
to
my
mate
about
what
a
Casanova
I
was
and
he
became
terribly
annoyed.
In
fact
he
threw
a
punch
at
me.
"It
caught
me
in
the
eye
and
I
stumbled
against
a
wall
and
onto
my
knees.
At
first
he
thought
I
was
kidding.
It
wasn't
a
very
hard
punch
but
obviously
caught
me
at
a
rather
odd
angle,"
he
added.
Bowie"s
love
rival
George
Underwood
gave
more
details
about
the
accident.
"He
knew
damn
well
why
I
did
it.
We
both
wanted
to
go
out
with
her
and
I
was
lucky
enough
to
get
a
date,"
said
Underwood.
"On
the
day
of
the
date
David
rang
me
up
and
said
that
she
had
to
cancel.
So
I
didn't
go
but
he
had
made
up
the
whole
story.
The
girl
stood
around
for
over
an
hour
waiting
for
me
as
I
discovered
later.
It
was
a
bastard
thing
to
do
and
I
was
furious
with
him,
so
it
developed
into
a
fight
between
us.
And
during
the
punch-up
I
caught
his
eye
with
a
fingernail,"
he
added.
Bowie
was
hospitalised
and
doctors
noticed
the
sphincter
muscles
of
his
left
eye
were
badly
torn,
preventing
the
pupil
from
dilating
or
contracting.
