Ed Sheeran‘s three remaining opening acts, FINNEAS, Lukas Graham, and Aaron Rowe, have withdrawn from his “LOOP” US tour following Macklemore’s removal from the lineup after his pro-Palestine comments. Sheeran’s backing band, Beoga, has also announced its departure from the tour.

Ed can perform solo and will do just fine. That has been his whole act. Those supporting groups are just losing opportunity.

Doesn’t he do this every time he gets on stage, though?

I moreso mean, he makes a point to bring up Palestine on stage all the time. Like, if you’re a promoter you cannot be shocked he did this based on the past.

Robert Kraft caught wind of it and led an effort to shut it down is my guess

I support this message (the dropping of the imposter, not the freeing of the terrorist state).

You could have just said Ed Sheeran is filling football stadiums.

Nobody is buying tickets to see Macklemore. More people would want to hear el gaucho's band than listen to Macklemore

Right. Macklemore was lucky to be on that ticket. Sheeran sells out Wembley Stadium by himself. He's the draw. No one gives a shite about the opening band. Apparently his other loser opening acts also dropped out. Like it hurts him... Dude is printing money.

Cause Sheeran is an entertainer. He's not a political activist. Macklemore has seemingly always been an activist first and entertainer second. Sheeran isn't going to sabotage the us leg of his tour for a frickin macklemore.

I want to meet the person who is actually entertained by Macklemore.


I’m guessing you probably don’t. Assuming you do actually find one.

It's a great collaboration. The first drop is ridiculous. I'm a fan of this one also.

Wasn’t there something like this in the book of revelations?


Or maybe its simple as......paying a boatload for a ticket to hear Sheeran....not a lecture on palis?

I used to wonder how people could stand by and let millions of Jews be slaughtered.....then I read some posts on this board

Elvis Presley understood this decades ago:

"Honey, I just tend to keep my own personal views about that to myself. I'm just an entertainer, and I'd rather not say"

It’s why he IS the greatest of all times and these cucks today can’t hold a candle to a poor boy from Mississippi.

How did they become a terrorist state?

The answer isn’t as simple as “Muslims are all terrorists and Palestinians have always been terrorists.”

It is impossible to study the history of the Israeli - Palestine conflict and come away with “Palestine is just a terrorist state” unless you are being intentionally ignorant of the situation.

Yeah I’m sure they’ll have a hard time replacing a band that plays basic arse music behind the actual star. Dumbasses
