Gary Glitter will not be paid for his song in ‘Joker’

Gary Glitter will not be paid for the use of one of his songs in the movie "Joker." Some moviegoers were shocked to discover that Todd Phillips’s new film — starring Joaquin Phoenix as the comic book villain —features "Rock and Roll Part 2," by the convicted sex offender. But Snapper Music and Universal Music Publishing Group, which own the rights to Glitter’s back catalog, told the Los Angeles Times that “Gary Glitter does not get paid — we’ve had no contact with him.”
