Ed Sheeran Explains Macklemore Exit | Hip-Hop News

Ed Sheeran reveals Macklemore was removed from his tour not by his choice, but due to pressure from stadium owners—including Robert Kraft—who threatened to cancel the entire tour if Macklemore continued performing after he voiced support for Palestine. Struggling to balance fan expectations, crew livelihoods, and his own values, Ed ultimately prioritized keeping the tour intact and maintaining a safe, non-political space for all attendees. He respects Macklemore’s stance but believes his concerts should remain apolitical. The tour resumes with new opening acts starting September 19 in Philadelphia.
