Macklemore removed from Ed Sheeran tour lineup due to pro-Palestine statements
American artist Macklemore has been removed from British singer Ed Sheeran’s US tour following his pro-Palestine remarks. Macklemore announced the cancellation on social media, stating stadium owners pressured Sheeran under an ultimatum: exclude Macklemore or face bans themselves. The rapper had previously highlighted the Gaza situation and supported Columbia University students during a September 4 concert in New Jersey. While Sheeran’s team confirmed venue restrictions, Macklemore maintains his stance, asserting that criticizing Israel does not equate to anti-Semitism. His Instagram post regarding the decision garnered over five million likes within a day.
