British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran fought back tears on stage at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday, admitting he questioned whether to continue his massive North American tour following a severe backstage fallout.
The high-stakes concert proceeded without its original supporting lineup after rapper Macklemore was dropped from the bill over pro-Palestinian comments made during a New Jersey performance. The controversial removal triggered an immediate chain reaction, resulting in walkouts by several supporting artists and touring musicians.
