"Morrissey opened for Madness on this event celebrating the band's reunion. The park was filled with Madness fans who didn't appreciate the racism rumours being spread by the NME or were impatient to see the band they came to see. After a few songs, the heckling started and all kinds of items were thrown on stage, including coins, bottles, a carton of orange juice, etc. Is it debatable whether or not this heckling and pelting had anything to do with Morrissey, as opening band Gallon Drunk suffered the same treatment. The verbal abuse came from all sides, from anti-racists who took Morrissey for being racist, and skinheads who didn't appreciate the skinheads backdrop and Morrissey wrapping himself in a Union Jack someone had thrown on stage during "Glamorous Glue". For the same reasons, the songs "The National Front Disco" or "We'll Let You Know" were not the most appreciated ones.
This caused Morrissey to walk out after only nine songs had been performed. The mess caused during this concert was discussed considerably in the UK music papers (notably the NME who were trying to get a statement from Morrissey) during the following weeks, even months, adding even more fuel to the rumours of Morrissey being racist. Morrissey never gave in to the pressure, addressing the subject only a few years later, to a publication other than the NME."
