HANOI (AFP) — Jailed British pop singer Gary Glitter, serving a three-year term in a Vietnamese prison for child molestation, said he would continue with his unfinished album when freed, state media said.

Glitter -- real name Paul Francis Gadd -- was sentenced in March 2006 for committing obscene acts with two girls aged 11 and 12 in the southern Vietnamese resort town of Vung Tau.

"I have an unfinished album. In jail, I have planned to finish the album after my release," Glitter, 64, was quoted as saying on the online edition of People's Police newspaper.

"I have sung rock 'n roll for 40 years. After the jail, I will continue rock 'n roll."

Glitter received a three-month term reduction in 2007 when Vietnam marked its traditional Tet lunar New Year....
