Clayton’s issues with alcohol came to a head on the final leg of the Zoo TV Tour. After experiencing a blackout , Clayton was unable to perform for the group’s 26 November 1993 show in Sydney, which served as the dress rehearsal for a worldwide television broadcast the following night . Bass guitar technician Stuart Morgan filled in for him, the first time a member of U2 had missed a concert since their earliest days. After the incident, Clayton resolved to stop drinking alcohol. The tour concluded the following month in Japan. It earned 5.3 million in ticket sales and US$151 million in gross revenues. Q ‘ s Tom Doyle said in 2002 that Zoo TV was “the most spectacular rock tour staged by any band”.
