Glitter 'Planning New Record After Jail'

Gary Glitter is reportedly planning to return to singing after he is released from jail in August.

The shamed former glam rock star, 64, is currently in prison in Vietnam for molesting two young girls.

Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, is said to be keen to make another record.

He was quoted as saying: "I have an incomplete album that I want to finish. I have been thinking about the plan during my days in jail."

Glitter is in good health, according to a state-run Vietnamese newspaper which interviewed him.

However, he is said to have a small problem with his hearing.

The Briton is also considering moving to Singapore or Hong Kong once he is released, the Cong An Nhan Dan (People's Public Security) said.

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

Glitter, whose three-year-jail term was cut by three months for good behaviour, was convicted in 2006 of committing "obscene acts with children."

The incidents involved two Vietnamese girls aged 10 and 11 from the southern coastal city of Vung Tau.

Earlier this year, a Hong Kong newspaper reported Glitter did not want to return to Britain because he would be listed on the country's sex offenders' registry.

A Hong Kong Immigration Department spokesman said there are no regulations barring convicted sex offenders from entering the territory.

But every entrant is subject to examination on a case-by-case basis, the spokesman added.
