As Crane tried to make it over a barrier on to the stage, he was knocked over by a Red Action member.In 1992, Crane admitted his homosexuality in a segment of the Channel 4 magazine show Out titled "Skin Complex".

The films did not achieve wide circulation but, to star in them in the first place, he must have been indifferent to whether or not he was exposed.citation needed] Released from jail in 1984, Crane soon began providing security for the white power skinhead band Skrewdriver, and remained associated with the band and its leader, Ian Stuart Donaldson, for the rest of the decade, designing two of the band's album covers and writing the lyrics for the song "Justice" on the LP Hail the New Dawn.
