Ed Sheeran's tour in turmoil after Macklemore dropped over Palestine remarks
–
Neutral summary
Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour has been thrown into crisis after rapper Macklemore was removed as the opening act following pro-Palestinian comments made on stage. Several other acts, including Finneas, brother of Billie Eilish, subsequently withdrew from the tour, and an Irish radio station said it would stop playing Sheeran's music. Macklemore pledged to donate $1 million from his tour earnings to Palestinian causes, a move matched by YouTube star Ms Rachel. Greta Thunberg and Roger Waters criticised Sheeran, while Colin Kaepernick accused New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft of colluding against the rapper.
