Once a dominant figure in Britain’s glam rock era, Gary Glitter now spends most of his days alone in a Prison cell, with little expectation he will ever regain his freedom.
The 81-year-old performer, whose real name is Paul Gadd, has seen his life reduced to near-total isolation inside a facility in southwest England, according to reports per the New York Post.
Known for his 1972 hit “Rock and Roll Part 2,” his legacy has long since been overshadowed by a history of sex crime convictions involving minors.
Insiders say the former pop star’s physical condition has deteriorated sharply. He is described as “on his last legs,” struggling with limited mobility and significant hearing loss.
“He often moves around in a wheelchair and staff are told about his hearing impairment and reduced mobility,” one insider said. “Most people would struggle to recognize him now up.”
Glitter is reportedly confined to his cell for up to 23 hours a day on a unit designated for vulnerable inmates, separated from the general Prison population due to safety concerns and ongoing tensions with other prisoners.
Those inside the facility believe he is unlikely to ever leave.
