Short version, Macklemore wanted to support Palestine, and Ed said "Don't", and now nobody wants to Play for him.

    Slight correction, Live Nation was going to cancel the whole tour because being pro Palestine isn’t in their best interest. They own all the venues.

    But they have a better PR dept than Ed Sheeran so… people hate him instead.

    And now thousands of people in the entertainment industry are possibly out of a job, because one monopoly didn’t agree with an opinion.

    AP source, not speaking out of my ass here: https://apnews.com/article/ed-sheeran-macklemore-how-tours-work-f71c8057452f110cf8fa43d61b9293ce

    Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots and Gillette Stadium, which is among the remaining tour stops, said in a statement that the decision to drop Macklemore was a result of his recent comments “and a broader history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery.”
