He also apparently said to her “If you had not left, none of this would have happened.”
I can't access the relevant thread below to reply directly to anitasseo or Dave Wray but of course it is true that June was with Syd Barrett (throughout 1967) before Marc Bolan. This won't be news to a lot of people. Her own thoughts on it are documented. She worked as Pink Floyd's secretary, and Marc (as a big fan of Syd Barrett) used to hang out at the Blackhill office (according to Dave Gilmour). I think the Barrett influence is evident in his image, and some aspects of his early writing. So June was a very important partner for each of them, and a very concrete link between the two.

June loved Marc up till the day she died. Yes they fell for each other rather quickly, it does happen for people. I believe from everything I've heard and read about, Marc loved Gloria and June. I try not to pass judgement on their lives. No one really knows the truth but the three of them. I'm very intrigued by Marc's life, he was a talented genius. And yes I believe he done things to make it as far as he did at the time. Things happen for a reason. Then I see people bashing Gloria. I often wonder if it's because she was black. She was very talented as well. She lost the man she loved, and her signing career from that accident. She lost everything but the Son she had to Marc. Give the poor woman a break, she has been through enough. Had to raise her son in poverty alone, if it wasn't for David Bowie and his financial influence and I'm sure Marc's family's support he wouldn't been without anything. Rolan is a very talented person like his parents. Just let them be and enjoy the music and the man who made it. Stop trashing the people he loved. He is gone but his music lives on.
Tracy Hill your absolutely right. No one is perfect. And yes if it wasn't for DB intervention where would be the 2 people he loved most in his life be? Certainly didn't get any help from June I should imagine. I'm sure she has her faults aswell....RIP Marc🌹
He cheated on her about 2 or three times until he accidentally got Gloria pregnant and had no choice but to go with Gloria. He wasn't a good guy. Love his music though
creator A 90 min docu on YT Marc's producer & friend said everytime Marc and June split up he had an affair. When they would get back together he would tell her all about it and she would be in bits but stayed with him always took him back.
He sounds like a typical bloke then! LOL Such an interesting character...especially the interest in other realms etc...he paved the way for us young 70's kids!
I went off her after I read an interview with her stating she got pregnant twice by Marc, but aborted both babies because she didn't think Marc was mature enough to be a father.
How can you even say that? As if you actually think your opinion matters on what a woman decides to do with her own body? Marc wasn't ready for children either and how could they have brought a child into their lives when they were amidst the huge phenomenon that T Rex had caused at the time? They wouldn't have had time to raise a child. All June ever did was do what was best for Marc and had his best interests at heart. He wasn't even ready for children when his son Rolan was born and said he saw Rolan more as a brother instead. He really didn't seem mature enough for a child yet. Marc did say however that he and June discussed that they did want children eventually.
June took care of Marc, she was a mother to him. She ran his errands, was his secretary and managed his business. She was beautiful and Gloria wasn't pretty at all.
Marc thought that Gloria was beautiful and that's all that matters. Before Marc became romantically involved with Gloria he and the other T-Rex backup singer Sister Pat Hall were lovers. He was producing Sister Pat's album before he got with Gloria but scrapped it and sent Pat back to LA to cut down on the friction between Pat and Gloria.
Marc named his son Rolan, Sandy....not Roland, although I've noticed in a lot of interviews, Marc is called Marc Boland, when it's Bolan, so his son became Rolan Bolan!. Just to be accurate, yeah? Peace and Love Sylvia xx
No - one should ever have been driving that mini. Not then or any time. It wasn't' safe. Just a terrible terrible set of circumstances. My sister worked I the hospital and saw the blood results from Marc not even alcohol present. Any alcohol they'd had with their meal. Just have largely worn off by 5 am. Just a terrible accident with the most awful repercussions for so many people. I always feel sorry for Marc's parents losing a son and never seeing their gorgeous grand child when he and his mum left the country. I don't know if they ever saw Rolan again?
Philadelphia freedom: I know Marc wasn't driving but as they were together it's an indication that she likely drank a similar amount to him. Another person reported that the police report stated neither had alcohol in their blood. That's all I'm saying.
Philadelphia Freedom I know Marc wasn't driving but his blood alcohol is an indication, as they were together, of how much she drank. Also another person has stated that the police report stated neither had alcohol in their blood. That's all I'm saying.
it's well known Marc was drunk that night. He'd been drinking all day, His friend Jeff Dexter even had to phone Morton's club to warn them of Marc's drunken state before coming. As For Gloria, there's audio footage of herself admitting that yes she was drinking that night.
Marc didn't choose gloria though. Actually June was the one who left him and the truth is he was devastated about her leaving him, he wanted to be with June. T Rex Roadie, Mick O'Halloran said when June left, Marc called him upto his hotel room and 'cried like a baby' and was 'emotionally damaged by June leaving him. He never even got over June leaving him, he wanted to be with her again in 1977 and June has said herself in another interview that she and Marc would've got back together had he not died. She also said that Marc told her he wasn't happy with Gloria or 'the situation' as he put it.
June was really nice, but gone too soon, yet still, the other one who was drunk driving when marc bolan was killed beside her, hightailed back to the United States to avoid charges etc. How's that justice. Today you could face a sentence.
Love. Destiny. Weird stuff, huh? He followed his path. Keep being mad about it but he lived his life. And I'm saying this as someone who has been in June's shoes.
Is she saying she only knew him for 3 hours when he said he loved her, and she threw in her lot with him on that basis? Why were they sleeping on the Common? Is the beginning of this missing?
+aitch dubbya At the beginning of Marc and June's relationship they had very little money. They could barely scrap together the 2 pounds weekly it cost for their tiny attic flat.
Susan Kirkland you’re correct, it’s in all the biographical books, they lived in the van for 4 days in Wimbledon common until they got the flat in Blenheim Crescent ( I think that was the cold water flat). They had to go to Tony Visconti’s flat for a hot shower once or twice a week.
she'd known him a lot longer, he used to go to the place she worked a lot, because of links to pink floyd and syd barrett, and from that they became close
He put a little glitter on his cheeks and so Bowie copied him?! Ok so he put glitter on his cheeks first but I don't see Bowie needing him at all. Yes, Bowie and all musicians-are influenced by others and then become the influencers. Sure they must of had an impact. The Who mentions them in 81 on "You Better You Bet"and Bowie mentions them in one of his songs. It's too bad they didn't have more success in the US.
+Ricky Rhoades Indeed..Bolan in turn was highly influenced by Elvis, Little Richard, Cliff Richard ,Keith Richard(s), Eddie Cochran and eventually a host of 60's artists ,prominently Dylan.. I wouldn't necessarily state _"he stuck his head out"_,but then, June's (bless her soul) recollections understandably might have been a bit biased.
Yeah, especially when Bowie released Space Oddity in July 1969 and Marc Bolan released "Ride a White Swan" as a single October 1970. This does not support him doing it first. I guess it's what he needed to tell himself as things were not going so well...
I believe the influence started with Lou reed, who wasn't putting make up on for show.......I would say syd Barrett was the first brit to put the eyeliner on....

He cheated on her about 2 or three times until he accidentally got Gloria pregnant and had no choice but to go with Gloria. He wasn't a good guy. Love his music though
creator A 90 min docu on YT Marc's producer & friend said everytime Marc and June split up he had an affair. When they would get back together he would tell her all about it and she would be in bits but stayed with him always took him back.
He sounds like a typical bloke then! LOL Such an interesting character...especially the interest in other realms etc...he paved the way for us young 70's kids!
Agree, don’t condone his personal behavior. Love his music. I must hold the contradiction.
she's aged well.
This would have been recorded not long after Marc's death.
@@pwatts8846 it was recorded in 1993...Bolan died in 1977
I want that pink blazer! Lol RIP
Can’t believe Marc Bolan married Christine McVie 😱
Marc was mostly famous in the UK.
He was very famous in the US for a few years.
I went off her after I read an interview with her stating she got pregnant twice by Marc, but aborted both babies because she didn't think Marc was mature enough to be a father.
How can you even say that? As if you actually think your opinion matters on what a woman decides to do with her own body? Marc wasn't ready for children either and how could they have brought a child into their lives when they were amidst the huge phenomenon that T Rex had caused at the time? They wouldn't have had time to raise a child. All June ever did was do what was best for Marc and had his best interests at heart. He wasn't even ready for children when his son Rolan was born and said he saw Rolan more as a brother instead. He really didn't seem mature enough for a child yet. Marc did say however that he and June discussed that they did want children eventually.
He was a best friend of Eric Hall..."Monster monster "..🤔
June took care of Marc, she was a mother to him. She ran his errands, was his secretary and managed his business. She was beautiful and Gloria wasn't pretty at all.
Marc thought that Gloria was beautiful and that's all that matters. Before Marc became romantically involved with Gloria he and the other T-Rex backup singer Sister Pat Hall were lovers. He was producing Sister Pat's album before he got with Gloria but scrapped it and sent Pat back to LA to cut down on the friction between Pat and Gloria.
What happens when a spouse becomes your business partner & has no idea of how to run a business ?
in Suid Afrika girls hate to see Marc with Gloria...first bongo beat albums and Johnny Kongas were fantastis ...snaaks baie..oulik Marc
I feel for his son Roland
Marc named his son Rolan, Sandy....not Roland, although I've noticed in a lot of interviews, Marc is called Marc Boland, when it's Bolan, so his son became Rolan Bolan!. Just to be accurate, yeah?
Peace and Love
Sylvia xx
Yep an innocent child
@@sylvialiney7136 think his first single was released as Marc Bowland
@dave wray no one was drinking !!! check the police report
Glamorous is a red t-shirt
Wish she'd been driving the mini.
No - one should ever have been driving that mini. Not then or any time. It wasn't' safe. Just a terrible terrible set of circumstances. My sister worked I the hospital and saw the blood results from Marc not even alcohol present. Any alcohol they'd had with their meal. Just have largely worn off by 5 am. Just a terrible accident with the most awful repercussions for so many people. I always feel sorry for Marc's parents losing a son and never seeing their gorgeous grand child when he and his mum left the country. I don't know if they ever saw Rolan again?
@@susankirkland3852 Marc's blood alcohol is irrelevant because he wasn't driving. What was Gloria's blood alcohol level?
Philadelphia freedom: I know Marc wasn't driving but as they were together it's an indication that she likely drank a similar amount to him. Another person reported that the police report stated neither had alcohol in their blood. That's all I'm saying.
Philadelphia Freedom I know Marc wasn't driving but his blood alcohol is an indication, as they were together, of how much she drank. Also another person has stated that the police report stated neither had alcohol in their blood. That's all I'm saying.
it's well known Marc was drunk that night. He'd been drinking all day, His friend Jeff Dexter even had to phone Morton's club to warn them of Marc's drunken state before coming.
As For Gloria, there's audio footage of herself admitting that yes she was drinking that night.
Marc chose Gloria - people stop smoking meth and get over it ~
Lol..Yep a very bad choice!
Marc didn't choose gloria though. Actually June was the one who left him and the truth is he was devastated about her leaving him, he wanted to be with June. T Rex Roadie, Mick O'Halloran said when June left, Marc called him upto his hotel room and 'cried like a baby' and was 'emotionally damaged by June leaving him. He never even got over June leaving him, he wanted to be with her again in 1977 and June has said herself in another interview that she and Marc would've got back together had he not died. She also said that Marc told her he wasn't happy with Gloria or 'the situation' as he put it.
Christy McVie's sister from another mister ;)
Nope. June is the original.
Left June and met the person who drove the car lost control the died and she still around
June left Marc, not the other way round. He was apparently devastated by June leaving him and never got over it
June was really nice, but gone too soon, yet still, the other one who was drunk driving when marc bolan was killed beside her, hightailed back to the United States to avoid charges etc.
How's that justice.
Today you could face a sentence.
his real wife not that boot that killed him in her car
Auto shop didn't tight the front wheel properly - dumb-ass ~
Did anything happen to Autoshop as a consequence?
@@susankirkland3852 nope nothing proven any how could they the car was smashed up to much to determine if that was true or not
Renata Polacsek thanks for reply.
Love. Destiny. Weird stuff, huh? He followed his path. Keep being mad about it but he lived his life. And I'm saying this as someone who has been in June's shoes.
She reminds me of Christine McVie x x
Melissa Wright yes 👀 finally someone else sees it
@@SweetAeromotion who??????
both so beautiful! I love CM, so talented!
Mini's was the death of him.
Как там оказалось Пугачёва?
Is she saying she only knew him for 3 hours when he said he loved her, and she threw in her lot with him on that basis? Why were they sleeping on the Common? Is the beginning of this missing?
+aitch dubbya
At the beginning of Marc and June's relationship
they had very little money. They could barely scrap
together the 2 pounds weekly it cost for their tiny
attic flat.
Totally true!
Marc was living at his mum and dad's at the time which was where they ate muesli I think. I suppose to be together they had to sleep in her van?
Susan Kirkland you’re correct, it’s in all the biographical books, they lived in the van for 4 days in Wimbledon common until they got the flat in Blenheim Crescent ( I think that was the cold water flat). They had to go to Tony Visconti’s flat for a hot shower once or twice a week.
she'd known him a lot longer, he used to go to the place she worked a lot, because of links to pink floyd and syd barrett, and from that they became close
Fun fact, they both died on their birthday month.
yeah, that's 'fun'
Fun???
Marc Bolan as a woman
she destroy bolans family after death of marc
Thats a lie. Gloria did all the damage. She killed Marc and then played the victim..
He put a little glitter on his cheeks and so Bowie copied him?! Ok so he put glitter on his cheeks first but I don't see Bowie needing him at all. Yes, Bowie and all musicians-are influenced by others and then become the influencers. Sure they must of had an impact. The Who mentions them in 81 on "You Better You Bet"and Bowie mentions them in one of his songs. It's too bad they didn't have more success in the US.
+Ricky Rhoades Indeed..Bolan in turn was highly influenced by Elvis, Little Richard, Cliff Richard ,Keith Richard(s), Eddie Cochran and eventually a host of 60's artists ,prominently Dylan..
I wouldn't necessarily state _"he stuck his head out"_,but then, June's (bless her soul) recollections understandably might have been a bit biased.
Yeah, especially when Bowie released Space Oddity in July 1969 and Marc Bolan released "Ride a White Swan" as a single October 1970. This does not support him doing it first. I guess it's what he needed to tell himself as things were not going so well...
I believe the influence started with Lou reed, who wasn't putting make up on for show.......I would say syd Barrett was the first brit to put the eyeliner on....
Space Oddity was not a hit until 1973. It was Starman that broke Bowie.
Space oddity was a hit in 1969. It reached number 5 in the UK charts, after being used on the moon landing TV coverage.
June Child is a female red Spirit, Amalgat, as a human. She is the God Hera. Roger Waters is a Yellow Spirit as a human. He is the God Zeus.
Christine McVie 🙃
Mine the coal and ya die.
south africa love June not Gloria who ruined the future of Bolan
