Authorities said Thursday they are searching for former British rock star Gary Glitter over his alleged relationship with a Vietnamese teenager.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Le Dung said officials have confirmed that Glitter, 61, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, was residing in a home in southern Vung Tau city and had applied for permanent resident status in Vietnam.

Glitter rose to fame with glam-rock songs in the 1970s, most notably his only U.S. hit, "Rock and Roll Part 2," a largely instrumental song that has been a staple at stadium sporting events for years. Among his other songs hits were "I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)" and "Do You Wanna Touch."

Glitter fell from grace in 1999 when he was convicted in Britain of possessing child pornography. He served half of a four-month jail sentence before being released. He later went to Cambodia and was permanently expelled in 2002, though Cambodian officials did not specify his crime or file charges.

Dung said that Glitter had left the house on Nov. 12, and police are seeking his whereabouts.

"At present, relevant authorities Ba Ria Vung Tau province are trying to trace this gentleman, and clarify the relationship between this gentleman and a Vietnamese juvenile," he said.

Dung said authorities have conducted interviews with a 15-year-old girl who they found in the home rented by Glitter.

"If evidence of a (legal) violation is found against Mr. Paul Francis, and especially evidence of sexual child abuse, I believe that very strict legal measures will apply to him," he said.

In Vietnam, the crime of sexually abusing a child can lead to the death penalty.

No, he should have his balls chopped of for being a dirty scumbag nonce. Perverted human trash like him should be put in jail with all the most vicious scumbag murderers, he wouldn't last five minutes in a jail with non nonce criminal types. Even criminals have standards and messing about with kiddie porn is revolting beyond my imagination.

Chop his bits off without an anaesthetic.

Yeah, when he first got busted a few years back, I was like "who the hell is this guy?" And everyone I knew was like "you know, he did that song rock and roll hey hey", as if that song is as famous as Happy Birthday or something. And I'm like "wtf, I've never heard this song". Strange.

The song became a real "sports anthem" back in the 90's. Once he was arrested for child porn the song was largely dropped.

Seems you may ALMOST get yuor wish.

Gary Glitter could face a firing squad
By Andrew Drummond and Adam Fresco
The disgraced star faces death or years in jail if he is convicted of rape

GARY GLITTER could face a firing squad or decades in a squalid jail if he is found guilty of raping a 12-year-old girl in Vietnam.

The girl is said to have admitted having sex with the 61-year-old former glam rock star, allegedly for £5.50, but police in the Vietnamese resort city of Vung Tau said yesterday that it was still considered rape under Vietnamese law.



Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, was arrested as he tried to leave Vietnam for Bangkok via Tan Son Hnat airport in Ho Chi Minh City on Saturday, after police started searching for him in connection with allegations about his relationships with two teenage girls.

Uhh, no. I can honestly say I don't. Maybe if I heard it, I'sd recognize the tune. But I don't recognize the lyrics, that's for sure.

He should be executed for wearing that shirt. I remember "Part II" but barely.
