I will not be opening for Ed Sheeran on his tour

This was not an easy decision for me. It might cost me relationships but I have to stand up for what’s right. That, and I was never invited. But mostly the first thing!!

    The bar is so low, doing the bare minimum is to be applauded!

    this might be a controversial statement to make here, but I'm not afraid BC its the right thing to do:

    I am against killing.

    Fucking Ed Sheeran can open his own beans! I won't be opening for him!

    I thought I was a weird choice to open for him, given I give psychology lectures for a living, but I made the decision not to open for Ed Sheeran following the silencing of Macklemore by zionist lobbies.

    I am a traditional lecturer who never saw myself presenting to stadiums of that size and that opportunity is not lost on me. I have not been friends with Ed for over 10 years and will continue not to be. I believe in dialogue as a means of processing the plight of the Palestinian people.

    Brave person! I feel inspired... I too have decided not to open for Ed.

    I also will not be touring with him. Because I can neither sing nor dance.

    Fuck Israel.

    I really appreciate you - values are not values if one isn’t ready to lose something for defending them.

    I have doubled the money Ed was going to pay you and given it to a children’s hospital and I encourage others to join.

    I told my wife the same same thing and she was not very understanding. She just said "what the fuck are you talking about". SMH my head

  • If Ed Sheeran contacts me, I'm going to tell him he's a fucking cunt.

    I stand with you. I will also not open for Ed Sheeran.

  • source
  • I, too, will be taking my distance from him.

    We were gonna jump into Valheim 1.0 together but I cannot in good conscience build sick bases and kill monsters with him.

    I have stepped out of the tour as well.

    I think that's a difficult position to take. I'm proud of you for taking it.

    how does the rest of the band feel?

    If you're surprised by my announcement, you clearly haven't been following my music career very closely.

    Yeah.. so sorry Ed.. I probably should just leave a message for him on my voicemail saying I'll be unavailable.

    I have to wax, uhhhh.. the lawn.

    I also have no stage worthy talents what so ever, so nobody but me should benefit from that!

    Wow, and you're not even denouncing Aum Shinrikyo's subway sarin gas attack. Way to tell on yourself, buddy!

    Screw all of you. I could use the money. I'll open for ed.

    ::: spoiler I'll spend my time talking about that genocide. Maybe make a slide show, and throw in references to the stadium owner's involvement with Epstein. :::

    The better question is why wouldn't Ed Sheeran invite the Dairy King?

    I'm Spartacus!

  • I also won't be opening for Ed Sheeran. You can't sit on the fence when tens of thousands of babies and children in Gaza are straight up murdered by evil IDF cowards.

    Also, that motherfucker never ages. He's probably a witch. I can only support hot skyclad witches I stumble upon in forests. Which has never happened. But I can dream, can't I?

    I really didn't think you had it in you. I'm glad you proved me wrong. So proud!

    I will absolutely take Macklemores cheque and open for Sheeran. I make no promises about what will be performed.

  • source
  • Me neither, I can’t just stand by and do nothing, so that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I will not be opening for Ed Sheeran either.

    Me either, fuck that guy

  • source
  • [–] 2 points 1 month ago

    I will, for the fans still paying to see him in Epstein's Arena.

    I'll take a big fan with me, point it at the crowd, and shit in a bucket. You can guess where this is going.

    kraft is ED's sugar daddy, so to speak he has performed for him personally, he's only "neutral" because he gauging where the pr WIndS BLOw, he definitely doesnt want to bite the hand that feeds him.
