Since it's #NationalComingOutDay - @NME lied about Morrissey's 1992 Madstock gig because Skrewdriver's roadie & ex National Front organizer, Nicky Crane had just come out as gay on a @Channel4 documentary about gay skinhead subculture called the Skin Complex.
Madness lead singer, Suggs, had been friends with Skrewdriver's lead singer, Ian Stuart Donaldson, before Skrewdriver rebranded as neo-Nazi in 1982 and Madness was rumoured to have a National Front following.
