Yeah Glitter's music was pure 70's pop, but as the man is still getting an income from royalties, I would never intentionally listen to his music or see a film featuring his music, not now the extent of his perversion is known.Gary Glitter’s music makes me feel so conflicted…Another Rock n Roll Christmas always reminds me of happy Christmases spent with my grandparents and now I can’t listen to it without thinking of the awful things he’s done![]()
This is a man who was thrown out of Cambodia - and if you've ever been to Cambodia, you'll know you have to be a real wrong 'un to get deported, most people just offer the authorities money and the trouble goes away. Not with Glitter though, he'd setup home with an 11yo and a 12yo that he'd 'bought' from their mother. He was arrested on his return to the UK and imprisoned for 16 years.
I hope he dies there. He's allegedly made over a million in royalties because Oasis sampled his music in Hello. I hope whoever inherits his money after his death donates it to the NSPCC or Save the Children.
