Artists Exit Sheeran Tour Over Gaza | Belfast News

Artists including Aaron Rowe, Finneas, Lukas Graham, and Beoga have all pulled out of Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour, citing ethical concerns over the silencing of dissenting voices — particularly after Macklemore was removed from the tour following his comments on Gaza. Sheeran clarified he wasn’t responsible for Macklemore’s removal, blaming promoters who threatened to cancel shows if he stayed. He emphasized his personal stance against the conflict while defending his silence as a choice. Rowe called Sheeran a friend but said he couldn’t support a tour that enabled billionaire-backed censorship of Palestinian advocacy. Beoga accused “zionist lobbies” of pressuring venues to exclude artists speaking out for Free Palestine. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
