Macklemore announces 'Free Palestine' tour after Ed Sheeran split
–
Neutral summary
Macklemore, who was removed from Ed Sheeran’s “Loop Tour” after shouting “Free Palestine!” during a concert in New Jersey, has announced his own “Free Palestine Tour”. Three shows will take place in late October in Dublin, Paris and London, with all proceeds going to organisations supporting Palestinians. The rapper also said he would donate his entire $1 million fee to pro-Palestinian organisations, according to Haaretz. Ed Sheeran has lost nearly half a million Instagram followers amid the fallout, as reported by The Hill and Nova.rs. Sheeran has said the decision to drop Macklemore was made by tour promoters, not him. Macklemore said “being apolitical during a genocide doesn’t work” and promised that a North American leg would be announced later. Alex Haditaghi, owner of Polish club Pogoń Szczecin, has invited the rapper to perform at his stadium, according to Rzeczpospolita.
