@c5news: Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters has branded Ed Sheeran a “p****” over dropping Macklemore from his tour, a decision that has led to all four supporting acts also pulling out of the singer’s Loop Tour. The Downtown rapper was opening for Sheeran on his US leg when he spoke out in support of Palestine and showed images of the devastation in Gaza during two concerts in New Jersey. Sheeran, 35, later claimed venue owners had pressured him to remove the rapper, and that it was the “promoter’s decision, it was not mine” to drop Macklemore. Finneas, the Oscar-winning musician brother of Billie Elilish later pulled out from the tour, as did Lukas Graham, Aaron Rowe and Beoga. “I just have a little message for you,” Waters said in a video on X, tilted, ‘Ed Who’. “There are two kinds of people in this world. Some people do the right thing. That rapper, Macklemore, would be one of those people. And there are people who are p*****, like you, who do the wrong thing. Goodbye.”
