Ed Sheeran Breaks Silence on Macklemore’s Tour Removal, Says Decision Wasn’t His
The “Shape of You” singer addressed the controversy after Macklemore was dropped from the remaining U.S. dates of his Loop Tour and revealed conversations involving Robert Kraft.
Ed Sheeran is speaking publicly about Macklemore’s removal from his Loop Tour, making it clear that the decision was not his.
The 35-year-old singer shared a lengthy statement on Tuesday, September 15, addressing the controversy after Macklemore was removed as an opening act from the remaining U.S. dates of the tour.
The decision came after Macklemore made pro-Palestinian comments while performing at Sheeran’s concerts at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey earlier this month. The rapper later spoke about his removal and revealed details of private conversations he had with Sheeran.
Macklemore also claimed that New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft had pressured venues to prevent him from performing. Kraft subsequently confirmed that he did not want Macklemore to perform at Gillette Stadium, although he did not address the allegation that he had contacted other stadium owners.
Sheeran has now offered his side of the story, emphasizing that he was not responsible for Macklemore being removed from the remaining tour dates.
The controversy has drawn significant attention because of the intersection of music, political expression and concert venue decisions. Sheeran’s statement provides further context surrounding the circumstances that led to Macklemore’s departure from the tour.
