Iconic rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix, of "Foxy Lady" fame, purportedly is the subject of a sex tape scheduled for release, the tape's U.S. distributor says.
The
film shows a naked man resembling Hendrix, who died in 1970, wearing a
bandanna in his Afro while engaging in sexual activity with two
brunettes in a dimly lit bedroom, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
Vivid
Entertainment, a player in the pornographic film industry, said it
created the 45-minute DVD "Jimi Hendrix the Sex Tapes," combining 11
minutes of sexually-oriented footage with a retrospective of the Hall
of Famer's career in the 1960s without music. Hendrix was 27 when he
died from a drug-related cause.
Whether the man on film is
actually Hendrix is subject to debate. Vivid Entertainment officials in
Los Angeles said they authenticated the tape.
"I believe that
we did our due diligence, and as a result of that clearly believe that
it's him," said Steven Hirsch, Vivid's co-chairman. "If they said that
it wasn't him, I would never have put it out."
Fans say facial features, rings seen in the film and the hair discount that it's Hendrix.
A spokesperson for Hendrix' estate did not comment.
