Original story here.
Added, from the JC:
Macklemore has been dropped from the rest of Ed Sheeran’s tour after upcoming venues threatened to cancel performances if he was involved, according to the show’s promoter.
The pro-Palestine rapper, real name Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, chanted “Free Palestine” and showed pictures of Gaza, during a performance earlier in the tour of his 2024 song Hinds Hall in front of around 70,000 fans….
Messina Touring Group has told Rolling Stone: “As the concert promoter for Ed Sheeran’s US Loop Tour, we have been notified by venues on the upcoming US tour dates that they will not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the line-up, which would result in the cancellation of the tour and impact hundreds of thousands of fans.
“After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates.”
Nothing to do with Ed Sheeran, then.
