Is Gary Glitter going to tour again?

Is Gary Glitter going to tour again?

Around the same time as pigs start to fly is our guess...


We’ve seen some pretty ballsy moves in our time, but this has to be up there with the best of them – apparently there’s rumours flying around Twitter at the moment that Gary Glitter is plotting a comeback tour of the UK. Seeing that he’s still the tabloid's public enemy number 1 and he’s pretty much considered to be the most hated man in pop by most people, if the rumours are true, it really makes you worry for his mental state.

Not the kind of people to get suckered into this stuff that easily, Spoonfed did a bit of research and it turns out that he’s threatened to pull this stunt before. Back in 2001, in fact, the papers got so mad about they appealed to the Home Secretary to have it stopped, while his latest stunt in  2011 was by and large met with general disbelief.

But hey, it could happen right? We were dead wrong about Pulp coming back, and who knew that the Stone Roses would bury the hatchet and hit the road again? Saying that though, none of the people in those bands are convicted child abusers, and that’s a pretty big mountain to climb if you wanted to make it happen.
