Macklemore Booted From Ed Sheeran Tour | Charlotte News

Macklemore was axed from Ed Sheeran’s tour after sparking controversy with a “Free Palestine!” shout during his set at MetLife Stadium — a move reportedly pushed by Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, who cited antisemitic rhetoric in Macklemore’s past. Though Macklemore insists his comments weren’t targeted at Jewish people, venues pulled support, forcing Ed Sheeran to respect their final decision — even as he praised Macklemore’s conviction while advocating for peaceful dialogue. Now, Lukas Graham and Aaron Rowe will fill the remaining eight dates, as Sheeran’s tour resumes in Philly this Saturday amid ongoing global debate over Gaza.
