Gary Glitter (born Paul Francis Gadd, May 8, 1944 in Banbury, Oxfordshire) is a rock & pop singer who came to prominence in the glam rock era of the early 1970s. His reputation was greatly tarnished and his popularity quickly declined following a child pornography conviction, although he continued to record and release new work until his arrest and conviction on child abuse charges in 2006.

He had one of the longest chart runs of any solo singer during the 1970s. His success as a live performer lasted well beyond the 1970s, and the chant from his hit “Rock and Roll (Part 2)” is a perennially popular stadium anthem at sports events, particularly in the United States. Glitter’s 1973 number 1 “I’m The Leader Of The Gang (I Am!)” also remains one of the better-known songs of its era. He continued to record in the 1980s and 1990s, with his 1984 song “Another Rock And Roll Christmas” being one of the top 30 Christmas hits of all-time. In the UK alone Glitter scored more than 20 hit singles in the UK Top 75, and released more than twenty albums.

In 1999, Glitter was convicted of child pornography offences classifying him as a sex offender under UK law. He went to live in Vũng Tàu in Vietnam in March 2005 and applied for permanent resident status.

    He's a nonce, a perv, a slot badger, a two pin plug, a bush dodger, a small bean regarder, a una bummer, a nut administrator and a bent ref. He's The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and a fence vole. He's free willy, a chimney bottler a bunty man and a shrub rocketeer.

    @redcrush well, I have to admit that my first post can easily be misunderstood. I always believed in Michael's innocence in this case as in many other cases. It is easy to see when people want to take revenge or make money. But Michael's behaviour was more than strange, so it was easy to put him into suspicion. Which leads us to the case Gary Glitter. He had illegal material on his laptop. I believe that to be true, though Gary always denied that. Also he denied having sex knowingly with underages in Vietnam. The court was taken behind closed doors and all proves the judges had were the sayings of the girls, who claim to be attacked sexually. They changed their accusation after they got money from GG. And, maybe you know, it is absolute usual in Vietnam to simulate a carcrash or to ascribe a crime to europeans to get money from them. So some doubts remain...

    @polymorphous71: I fail to understand what my taste in music, or avatar, has to do with the facts. The fact of the matter is that Glamypunk still has no clue about what they're talking about or understands the deliberate use of my use of caps lock. Also, I happen to like the kind of music I like so why not just respect that instead of trying to attack me for it? I'm not here dissing yours. Thanks.

    Yeah but redcrush, it could be said that your fascination with MJ is a tad disturbing. I mean, even your avatar mate!?! Have a bit of imagination (I've seen your taste in music so, give the whole 'imagination thing' a whirl at least).

    @Glamypunk: lol You are the first person I ever met online who said that. I'm assuming that you are just a generally ignorant person if you can not to understand something so simple as my deliberate use of the caps lock key.

    @Glamypunk: Do us a favor and actually KNOW what you're talking about before you start sprouting off your uneducated opinions. There was NO evidence in Michael's case and plenty against Gary Glitter. If the FBI couldn't find anything on him what makes you think that you can? Oh that's right. b/c of you can't, because you have no clue about what you're talking about.

    @thatspicegirl completely wrong, the main difference between the 2 cases is in my opinion that Michael had more money and his case wasn't courted in Vietnam, nothing much else. I am sure both are/were crazies, if not more.... noone will ever know the truth perhaps. Me, I don't believe in american justice and in vietnamese even less.

    Why do you risk getting banned when you bash Michael on his page? Um, because he was PROVEN innocent WITH SOLID EVIDENCE and was a truly kind person who was taken advantage due to his generosity. The case against Michael was complete bullshit made up by psycho money-hungry parents. Glitter was PROVEN guilty WITH SOLID EVIDENCE. There was nothing to gain from accusing Glitter, while there was so much to gain from accusing Michael. When Michael's INSURANCE COMPANY (Not Michael himself, contrary to popular belief) offered the accuser's father (Who has since committed suicide) a $20 million settlement, suddenly everything was fine and he was no longer concerned with taking Michael to court. Tells you something there. Glitter did it because he was a pedophile. Michael was innocent because he was not. It's simple, really.

    There was evidence for Gary Glitter, their wasn't any actual evidence in Jacksons case you fucking moron [2]. Precisely. Howeverrrr, it requires too much for MJ haters to read into MJ's case and see he was innocent. Glitter = guilty. Michael = Victim of extortion; should never have even been accused in the first place.
