I know it doesn’t make anything any better, but. I’m a bit more satisfied that his whole life was trash and he was hurting himself as well as others, selling himself for drugs from his mum’s spare room.
I know that’s not good, but it’s better than the idea I’d had of the rich rockstar sitting on a pile of royalties and passing the hours abusing kids.
He wasn’t a skint addict selling himself because he had no other option. It was part of his fetish and chem sex culture. Hiding away in wales in his mums house away from the band members that were in LA allowed him to live the way he pleased. He was a rich and powerful man that had enablers, women giving him their children and vulnerable teenage fans at his finger tips. His life became trash when he was shipped into HMP Wakefield that has no VP wing therefore became a victim of people just like him.

I think a lot of the people who still listen to their music and defend him may not be aware of THE actual things he did to those babies.
Even if people don't know the details of the charges it was literally headline news that he was a pedophile. That should be more than enough to put people off. Trust me, I was literally one of their biggest fans. I didnt know the details i could looked them up if i really wanted to but i was happy to just forget about him and the band. I did know it was stuff to do with babies though. So basically I did bare minimum research and still knew. I was sick to my stomach when he died, not because he died but because his music was being played again with people saying "now he's dead we can listen to his music again" still his voice and lyrics though, why would anyone want to sing along to a pedophile 🤮

I dont know the exact things and don't want to, but even though i used to be a fan (obviously before any of this came out), I cant bare listening to the music at all. Hearing his voice makes me feel sick even now he is dead, I do feel for the other band members who had their career ripped away because of his actions, but using it as a reason to listen now is weird to me.

I was a fan of them prior and don’t listen to their music today. But I can understand why people have started listening again, he’s dead, he will receive no royalties. Most of their best music was before his offending, he was t-total until 2007.

I’m glad I found this thread. I just knew there was something off about that Joanne character, the way she keeps appearing in the press. All dolled up to the nines. When I read she had reported him, with evidence, and “nothing was done” it was obvious there was something the papers weren’t saying.

She’s ex army and ex vol police too. The police were in the wrong and they should have taken action when she first went to them. But the way it’s being portrayed that they turned on her in revenge is absolute bollacks.

For me it's not about the royalties or any other money side of things it's not something that crossed my mind. It's just simply that he was a horrically evil person and I don't want to hear his voice, dead or alive. Especially when you think of listening to music it's when you're upbeat and happy, you do a little dance, have a spring in your step, sing along etc I don't want his voice entering those moments and he wrote a lot of the music too so it's his lyrics even if people were to re-release the songs with different vocals. Each to their own but it'll always be a no from me

I remember that after 2007 the lyrics to the songs he wrote also got a bit dark.

Apparently there are 418k listeners of LP still on Spotify 😳
Likewise, there are also over 671k monthly listeners of Gary Glitter... it does make you wonder what goes through people's heads with things like this.
I have a friend who unapologetically still listens to LP and tries to joke/reason that 'they had some great songs' - it's so gross that they just can't see what's wrong.

Interestingly, when you look up GG, LP is listed as an artist that also shows up in that search.

Yeah I don't want to put my job on here but I work with vulnerable people, mostly children and one of my past colleagues said they still listen to them one day and just didn't see why people would be shocked at it.

Agreed, but it sickens me that those “mothers” could and probably will have other children
Ones already been released from prison and has been sent back again for having a secret relationship. She will never be allowed to keep any further children, if she has them.

That’s a relief to hear. Also good that JM is too old to have any more.

Yeah she don't sit right with me either... I was reading one of the forums from back way before he got caught. Everyone knew. I won't even go into what's written on them but easy enough to find. Sick sick sick evil sick man.
What were the forums you were reading?

I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post the link as it’s been taken down now, but you can find an archived version of a 2012 dating page which had a load of comments about Jo and some speculation about his sick behaviours even back then. I reread it through recently and it’s horrifying, seemed to be an open secret and some comments right on the mark about what he was doing even before he’d been arrested.
What’s the link? As long as it doesn’t have p0rn I think it’s ok to post a dating profile, is it ‘who’s dated who’?

The inquest was opened yesterday (Friday), and they have officially said the cause of death was 'incision of the neck' with a knife. He died at the scene so I'm assuming it got his jugular or carotid and he bled out quickly rather than truly suffering like he deserved. :mad:

By the sounds of it, like some earlier predicted, it had nothing to do with the fact he was a pedalo and instead, was to do with money by the looks of things. According to the coroner, back in 2019, he told a jury he was worried he would be attacked because he had been ordered to hide a phone, he was given to scam cash out of the idiots who visited and wrote to him.

The inquest has now been suspended until those arrested are put on trial, the first two with murder and the two just arrested with suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and they find out the outcome.
