Clues:
-1970s
-Brit POP (as oppose to Brit Rock or Brit Glam Rock or Brit Punk or Brit New Wave or Brit Soul etc.
Rules out creeps from The Who and Led Zep., talked about frequently on this board.
I can't think of any legendary British "pop" stars from the 1970s apart from Elton John or Cliff Richard - and I don't think they like 'girls.' Its also worth noting that The Sun are notorious for planting subtle clues - perhaps a pun on a well known song, for example - in articles where they can't name names.
Can anyone guess?

interesting guess. Not sure if he's "pop" though. More rock and he was part of Cream.

The Brits know their music and wouldn't characterize Clapton as "pop" or "70s'". That would be like characterizing Paul McCartney as a 70s pop star.
But that brings the Tom Jones guess into question because he was mostly a 60s act or at least he was well established in the mid 60s.
