Your Arsenal Tour
The "Your Arsenal Tour" was the tour in support of Morrissey's latest album, "Your Arsenal". The tour was Morrissey's last until 1995's Boxers Tour. Unfortunately, the tour started on a sour note. Morrissey cancelled his first Glastonbury Festival appearance, not counting his 1984 appearance with The Smiths. Morrissey eventually ended up canceling another festival date, the Madstock held by the band Madness. Although it started roughly, Morrissey played through the entire tour without having to cancel a single date.
== Madstock and the NME ==
The next two festival dates went down much smoother until Morrissey made it back to London to perform at Madness' reunion concert, dubbed "Madstock". Morrissey and his backing band suffered mostly verbal abuse from the crowd, that composed of mostly racists and non-racists, most of which were none too fond of Morrissey. The situation quickly grew worse as objects were thrown on stage, including a carton of orange juice. Unfortunately, Morrissey himself chose a cropped image of two female skinheads, which disturbed the fervour of the already hostile crowd. Opening band Gallon Drunk also suffered the same abuse. After the set opener, the band went into "Glamorous Glue", in which Morrissey draped himself with a Union Jack flag, raising the brows of many audience members and making tensions mount. The singer cut the set short in which all band members quickly retired their instruments and fled backstage.
The fiasco was given much media attention in the UK, in which the campaign was spearheaded by NME. It soon affected ticket sales in the UK, where rumors of Morrissey being racist were heightened by media outlets. Yet, Morrissey soldiered on and ended up touring in his homeland at the end of the year. Throughout the year, British music magazine NME would try to paint Morrissey as a racist, utilizing false accusations, with little to no evidence. The only incriminating evidence was the headline for the current issue at the time: "Morrissey - Flying the flag or flirting with disaster?" Due to this, Morrissey decided to not tour the UK immediately, only the end of year, which only ended up lasting ten days. Instead, Morrissey toured North America relentlessly.
Morrissey was still selling out shows, but not as much as last year's Kill Uncle Tour. One notable feat, was selling out two shows at the Hollywood Bowl, beating a sales record previously held by The Beatles since 1964.
