Daltrey: Glitter needs help

Disgraced rock star Gary Glitter needs help not condemnation, The Who singer Roger Daltrey said yesterday.

Glitter, 61, was charged last week with committing obscene acts with two girls aged ten and 11.

Six years ago he was convicted in Britain of possessing child porn.

But Daltrey, whose bandmate Pete Townshend was arrested for accessing child porn on the Internet in 2003, said: 'There's a lot of gunfire, but not a lot of help. And that's what these people need - help.'
