Huge rock star lost his virginity aged nine

Plus - megastar's gay romp revealed in new documentary

The sex secrets of the late glam rock star Marc Bolan, who fronted glam rock band T-Rex, are to be revealed in a new documentary.

Reports in the film from those who knew Bolan reveal that the star lost his virginity aged nine and went on to have gay sex with music mogul Simon Napier-Bell, who would go on to be his manager.

“He was having sex from the age of nine,” said Jeff Dexter, who was friends with Bolan during his lifetime, in 'Marc Bolan: 20th Century Boy', which will be aired on ITV1 next Saturday (September 8).

Napier-Bell explains in the TV show that he had sex with Bolan hours after he met him. “That is what people did in the 60s,” he said. “It wasn’t an affair – just a good '60s shag.”
