GARY GLITTER ROCKN ROLL SERIES
"It seems like every time we get a series of gigs together and some sort of comeback is on the cards, he will get arrested and we lose a lot of shows. The Glitter Band’s own career has been stymied by the situation. Even then he insisted on staying in a hotel whilst we had to share digs in bunk beds behind the stage.
