\"Gary<\/p>\n

He can reportedly ‘barely move’<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Gary Glitter is “near death” in prison as inmates say the disgraced paedophile singer is on his “last legs”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The 81-year-old is currently serving a 16-year prison sentence in HMP Channings Wood in Devon for abusing three schoolgirls between 1975 and 1980.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

A source told The Sun that Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, is reportedly “deaf and can barely move”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The source added: “Most people would struggle to recognise him now. He seems to be on his last legs, with his body giving up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

“And if he doesn’t get parole soon most officers and inmates think he will see out his days in jail.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Glitter was sent back to prison in 2023 just six weeks after being released, having served eight years of his 16-year sentence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The source also disclosed that Glitter is regarded as “arrogant in prison and most inmates don’t like him.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

They said: “He has to be kept on a [Vulnerable Prisoners Unit] as it is not solely a jail for sex offenders. He is kept out of harm’s way because he would not be safe on another wing, but he is spending up to 23 hours a day in his cell.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Glitter served eight years of his sentence between 2015 and February 2023, before returning to prison six weeks later after allegedly using a mobile phone to view footage of young girls on the dark web whilst residing in a bail hostel, thereby violating his parole terms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Glitter has twice since been refused bail in February 2024 and again in June 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

In 2025, a Parole Board said: “We can confirm that a panel of the Parole Board refused the release of Paul Gadd following a paper review.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

“Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
