Morrissey wore a For Britain badge during his appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon May 13.
The musician performed on the US TV show in support of his upcoming covers album, ‘California Son’, which is released on Friday (May 17).
During the performance of Jobriath’s ‘Morning Starship’, a badge with the right-wing group’s trident logo could be seen on the label of Morrissey’s blazer. You can watch footage of his Tonight Show appearance belo in link.
Last year, Morrissey spoke about his support of the party, which was founded by former UKIP member Anne Marie Waters in 2017. The musician said the party “finally” gave him “hope” and denied that the group held racist motives.
“For Britain has received no media support and have even been dismissed with the usual childish ‘racist’ accusation,” he said. “I don’t think the word ‘racist’ has any meaning anymore, other than to say “you don’t agree with me, so you’re a racist.” People can be utterly, utterly stupid.”
His comments followed him publishing an open letter declaring his support for For Britain, in which he said he “despises” racism and fascism. “I would do anything for my Muslim friends, and I know they would do anything for me,” he wrote in the letter. “In view of this, there is only one British political party that can safeguard our security. That party is For Britain.”
