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.

Can I just remind Itose that Gary Glitter has been convicted whereas Michael Jackson was acquitted of all charges.

Roman Polanski, what a joke. Yeah, Hollywood is pretty much pro-child abuse

I love how people tear this guy apart in every comment condemning him for his actions and the moderators don't care yet you utter one whisper of Michael Jackson's supposed actions and you risk getting banned. It's a funny world - like the whole Roman Polanski petition to free him, if someone has enough money and fame people seem to think its okay!

The moderators don't seem to be clamping down on this page like the Jackson one. Glitter wasn't rich and famous enough to get away with his nasty urges. Jackson was. Shamone.
