@10newsau: All four supporting acts on Ed Sheeran's upcoming tour dates have withdrawn in solidarity with Macklemore following his "free Palestine" comments at a New Jersey show. Finneas, Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham and Sheeran's backing band Beoga have pulled out, arguing artists should not be silenced for speaking about the conflict. Macklemore was removed after pressure from venue owners including New England Patriots billionaire Robert Kraft, a major supporter of Israel who Benjamin Netanyahu once described as one of the country's most loyal friends. Sheeran says he tried to broker a solution but insists the final decision was made by promoters, after venues threatened to pull shows if Macklemore remained on the lineup.
