Ed Sheeran’s Tour in Political Crossfire | New York City News

Ed Sheeran’s tour is in chaos after Macklemore was axed for pro-Palestine remarks, sparking a domino effect as artists like Rowe, Lukas Graham, Beoga, and Finneas all pull out — with venues and even Patriots owner Robert Kraft backing the removal, citing antisemitic rhetoric. Sheeran insists he’s kept politics out of his shows to honor fans’ desire for music, while Finneas defiantly argues artists shouldn’t be silenced for speaking truth to power, using the watermelon emoji as a symbol of solidarity. The fallout leaves Sheeran scrambling to salvage the tour without alienating either side. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
