Original caption
Ed Sheeran’s entire support line-up AND his backing band have now walked away from his tour, with his next performance scheduled for 19 September in Philadelphia. 👀 All four of the remaining supporting acts (FINNEAS, Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham and Beoga) have withdrawn from the Loop Tour in solidarity with Macklemore. This was after he was removed from the US dates following his pro-Palestinian comments on stage. Sheeran says that Macklemore’s removal wasn't up to him, instead blaming it on tour promoters and stadium venues. #celebrity #EdSheeran #Macklemore #looptour
