Paul Francis Gadd (born 8 May 1944), known by his stage name Gary Glitter, is an English Glam Rock musician and convicted sex offender who was successful during The '70s and The '80s.Due to numerous criminal convictions involving child pornography and sexual abuse of children, it's pretty much impossible for his career to ever continue. In 2023, he was released from prison on license, having served half of his most recent 16-year sentence, until he was shortly recalled to prison for breaching his license conditions.The Execution of Gary Glitter was made as a Mockumentary about him in an Alternate Universe where Great Britain has brought back capital punishment.

Kavorka Man: Even at his peak, Glitter was never considered especially good-looking but never had an issue attracting the admiration of young girls.

Do Not Call Me "Paul": He started going by his stage name, even to people who knew him since he was just Paul Gadd.

Rule-Abiding Rebel: At his peak, this was a central part of his appeal, being a Glam Rocker that was safe enough to appeal to kids and their parents.

The Jailbait Wait: The subject of the song "Happy Birthday", which contains lyrics like "Then I am gonna do, things to you, I've never done before! When you're old enough, HA, I do my stuff, till you beg for more!" Shame Gary never bothered to take his own advice...

Self-Titled Album: The first album called Glitter, and the third album called G.G., short for Gary Glitter.

Unperson: Even though he was an important and significant artiste in the seventies' glam-rock scene, try finding any radio or TV station that will acknowledge this, after his convictions for child sex abuse. Glitter has effectively been airbrushed out of '70s music history, and nearly every playing of his crowd anthem "Rock and Roll Part 2" in a stadium or arena is a cover so that he doesn't get performance royalties from the original song.note As Glitter is credited as co-writer, he was probably getting writing royalties though Gary has since sold the rights to the song.
