@varietymagazine: #Finneas has dropped out of #EdSheeran's tour alongside fellow openers Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham and Beoga in solidarity with #Macklemore. "Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed. I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates with Ed Sheeran. I stand with Palestine and its people," Finneas wrote in a statement supporting Macklemore, who was dropped from the tour after making "Free Palestine" speeches on stage. Lukas Graham added: "It's hard to watch families in other parts of the world burying the people they love. We should be able to speak about war, about civilians being killed, about children who deserve to grow up. Wherever they live. Whatever flag flies over them... Money doesn't give you the right to own the conversation. Nobody's bank balance should decide who gets to speak or which suffering we're allowed to acknowledge. I love Ed, and I'm grateful for everything we've shared. That hasn't changed. But I can't put these words out into the world and carry on with this tour as things stand. We're withdrawing from the remaining dates. I'm sorry we won't be there. This is a difficult decision, but it's one I need to stand by."

KL :

everyone saying “i want entertainers, not what political choices they make!!” are first hand proof of why olivia made this song as people who “do not care” about their political choices until it affects them in some way. yea i get you want a ‘few hours’ to have fun. but you know who can’t have a few hours away from the world? you know who can’t just walk away from the consequences of other people’s political choices? let’s really think about why these artists are making these choices and take advantage of the privilege we get as people of freedom and stop being so stuck-up and rude about missing a silly concert.
