@europeanlensnews: Four acts have walked away from Ed Sheeran’s tour after Macklemore was removed. Finneas, Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham and Beoga withdrew after Macklemore lost his place on the tour following pro-Palestinian comments during shows in New Jersey. Sheeran says he did not make the decision. According to him, several venues told the tour they would not host future dates if Macklemore remained, and the promoter ultimately removed him. The artists leaving the tour say political pressure should not silence performers. Venue owner Robert Kraft argues that his decision was instead about maintaining a welcoming environment and responding to rhetoric he considers offensive to Jewish audiences. #macklemore #edsheeran #culture #palestine #gaza #fyp
