As evidence of the [[AIDS]] epidemic surfaced in the media about [[homosexual]] men contracting a "strange new illness," promiscuous bisexuals were seen as likely carriers, and the fad waned.<ref>{{cite book |author=Garber, Marjorie B. |authorlink=Marjorie Garber |title=Vice versa: bisexuality and the eroticism of everyday life |publisher=Simon & Schuster |location=New York |year=1995 |isbn=0-684-80308-9}}</ref> As a result, many people who had declared themselves bisexual in the 1970s now retracted their comments. Mick Jagger, Lou Reed, [[David Bowie]] renounced their bisexuality in the 1980s.<ref> {{cite book|last=Buckley|first=David|year=2000|origyear= |title=Strange Fascination - David Bowie: The Definitive Story |location=London |publisher=Virgin |page=401|isbn=075350457X}}</ref>
