Gary Glitter 'on His Last Legs' as Inmates Believe Paedo Pop Star Could Die
Gary Glitter, 81, is wheelchair-bound, nearly deaf, and isolated in prison after parole denials citing lack of victim empathy and ongoing risk to children, officials say.
- At 81 years old, convicted paedophile Gary Glitter—born Paul Gadd—is reportedly in deteriorating health at HMP Channings Wood in Devon, confined to a wheelchair and largely deaf, spending up to 23 hours daily in his cell.
- Prison authorities recalled Gadd to custody in March 2023, less than six weeks after his automatic release, following a licence breach involving dark web access and child pornography images.
- The Parole Board consistently refuses his release, citing his ongoing "uncontrolled interest in children" and determining he continues to pose a threat to the public, which they describe as their "number one priority."
- Financial and legal woes further weigh on Gadd, who was declared bankrupt last year for failing to pay over £508,000 in damages to a victim, with insolvency proceedings continuing at Bristol County Court.
- Fellow inmates and staff reportedly believe Gadd will die in custody; one source commented, "if he doesn't get parole soon most officers and inmates think he will see out his days in jail.
