Macklemore has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s stadium tour after the rapper yelled “free Palestine” onstage at a recent show.
The Rolling Stone reported Monday that several venues notified the tour’s promoter that they would not allow the “Thrift Shop” hitmaker to perform.
Messina Touring Group, promoter of the US leg of Sheeran’s Loop Tour told the outlet in a statement: “As the concert promoter for Ed Sheeran’s U.S. Loop Tour, we have been notified by venues on the upcoming U.S. tour dates that they will not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the lineup, which would result in the cancellation of the tour and impact hundreds of thousands of fans.”
After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates,” the company added.
