This was the reason that initial shows in Canada were cancelled, delaying the first North American leg. There were many cancellations during the North American tour owing to problems with an oversized Stonehenge stage set. Two North American legs consisted of 36 shows from October through November, then 34 shows from January through March 1984. We were all shitting ourselves getting on that plane.

And rather than tell everybody, I drank and I disappeared. The thought of touring put me in such a state of panic, anxiety and dread that I couldn't possibly face the idea… but I was too ashamed to tell everybody. 'There had been conversations during the Born Again sessions about going on tour,' Bill Ward recalled, 'and I was barely making it through the sessions, let alone touring.
