Former glam rocker and convicted child molester Gary Glitter faked a heart attack in order to attempt to avoid going back to the U.K. From BBC News.

Former pop star Gary Glitter has refused to board a flight to the UK, saying he was having a heart attack.

He was earlier deported from Vietnam after spending almost three years in jail for sexually abusing two girls.

Glitter, 64, real name Paul Francis Gadd, had arrived at Bangkok in Thailand, where he was to change planes and fly back to the UK.

But he refused to leave the airport, demanding to be allowed to stay in Thailand or another Asian country.

Thai immigration has declared Glitter “persona non grata” and threatened to return him to Vietnam.

Gary Glitter Hiding His Face

Good for Thailand saying you are unwelcome, child molester.

Glitter has been refused entry to Thailand, despite a plea for medical treatment there.

Lt Gen Chatchawal Suksomchit, the chief of Thailand’s immigration police, told the Associated Press news agency that Glitter was confined to the transit area at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport.

“Officials concerned are working through the process of putting him on the plane to take him out of the country, but if he continues to refuse to leave then he will be confined in the [transit] area temporarily before being taken into a detention centre,” he said.

Back to England or back to jail, Glitter. This is one case where the publicity seems to be having an effect on how governments are reacting. Word is, upon returning to England, Glitter will be required to register as a sex offender, udergo monitoring and be refused travel privileges.

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said on Tuesday it was her view that he should be given a Foreign Travel Order (FTO) banning him from overseas travel.

Last time we discussed this bastard, it was brought to my attention that his music does not get played on the radio in the UK and it hasn’t for a long time. However, his song “Rock and Roll Part 2″ does get played at most major sporting events here in the US and, that is big source of performance royalty income. It is, of course, possible that Glitter has sold his interest to some other party but, it wouldn’t bother me a bit to not hear that damn thing six times during every Kansas City Chiefs game anymore.

Hey, N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell, BAN GARY GLITTER!

Hey, remember this guy?

Sure, you remember Gary Glitter, best known for his tune “Rock and Roll (Part 2)”….

Ba na na na… Hey! Ba na na.
Ba na na na… Hey! Ba na na.
Ba na na na… Hey! Ba na na.

Glitter, whose real name is, Paul Francis Gadd, has recently been residing in a Vietnamese jail after being convicted in 2006 of committing “obscene acts with children.” The children being two girls aged 10 and 11. Before that, in 1999, he spent time in jail in Britain for possession of child pornography.

Ba na na na… Hey! Ba na na.

What’s next for the 64 year old, child molesting rocker?

From the Canadian Press.

Former British glam rocker Gary Glitter, who is serving a jail sentence in Vietnam for molesting two girls, plans to return to singing after being released in August, state-run media reported.

“I have an incomplete album that I want to finish,” the 64-year-old disgraced rocker was quoted as saying. “I have been thinking about the plan during my days in jail.”

Of course, he’s got a damn record and is thinking about how to market it. Perhaps, he should use the Radiohead strategy. Or, maybe, a reality show. That’s a good way to get back in the public eye. I can see it now, the cameras follow a 64 year old, child molesting rocker as he puts his life back together. Apartment hunting, going to the D.M.V, shopping for metallic pants…

Ba na na na… Hey! Ba na na.

One thing is for sure, Mr. Glitter won’t be returning to England.

Earlier this year, Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post newspaper reported that Glitter did not want to return to Britain because he would be listed on the country’s sex offenders’ registry.

Glitter is also considering moving to Singapore or Hong Kong once he is released, the newspaper said on its website.

“I am trying to contact my lawyer and friends to see where the best place to live is,” it quoted him as saying.

I vote for Singapore.

I got to tell you, every time I’m watching a football game and I hear that damn song, it chaps my ass knowing that this bastard is getting a pay day.

Ba na na na… Hey! Ba na na.
