TAN DUC, August 18, 2008 (AFP) - One-time British glam rocker Gary Glitter is thinking about getting back into music after serving time in a Vietnamese jail for child sexual molestation, his lawyer said Monday.

The disgraced 1970s pop star, 64, is due to be released from a prison in southern Vietnam on Tuesday, and is expected to be deported to Britain.

'The first thing that he will do when he returns home is to focus on his health, since he is fairly old,' said his lawyer Le Thanh Kinh, noting that Glitter has a 'little hearing problem'.

But Kinh added that after that, the Briton expects to 'pursue his unfinished work.'

Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, was arrested in Vietnam in November 2005 and convicted the following March of committing obscene acts with two girls then aged 11 and 12 in the resort town of Vung Tau.

He was sentenced to three years in jail, the minimum term under Vietnamese law, which was cut by three months as part of national sentence reductions for the traditional Tet Lunar New Year in 2007.

Once famed for his flamboyant bouffant wigs and silver jumpsuits, Glitter faces immediate deportation when he is released, his lawyer said.

Sources at Britain's interior ministry have said that if Glitter were to return home, he would be required to sign the register of sex offenders.

In recent Vietnamese newspaper interviews from his prison cell, Glitter had said he hoped to move to Singapore or Hong Kong after his release, and to start recording music again.
