# All four supporting acts for Ed Sheeran’s North American tour have withdrawn in solidarity with rapper Macklemore, who was dropped from the line-up after making pro-Palestinian comments on stage. Earlier this month, Macklemore called for a free Palestine and showed images of devastation in Gaza during two concerts in New Jersey. Finneas, Aaron Rowe, Beoga and Lukas Graham have now announced their departures, saying artists should not be silenced for speaking about the conflict in Gaza. Sheeran says removing Macklemore was the promoter’s decision and not his.
