David Bowie used to store his urine in a fridge as he feared that Jimmy Page and a satanic coven planned to steal his bodily fluids to conceive the Antichrist

David Bowie and Jimmy Page

In the 1970s, David Bowie and Jimmy Page bonded over a shared interest in esoteric beliefs, specifically the teachings of occult guru Aleister Crowley, the philosopher, magician, poet and painter who delighted in the title 'The Wickedest Man In The World'. 

But the pair's relationship would sour, to the point that Bowie started storing his urine in a fridge as he apparently feared that Page and a satanic coven planned to steal his bodily fluids to conceive the Antichrist.

Bowie and Page first met back in 1965, when Bowie's band, The Manish Boys, hired session guitarist Page, then 21, to play on their cover of Bobby Bland's I Pity the Fool. The pair spoke warmly of one another at the time, but their relationship would take a darker turn in the mid '70s.
