Ed Sheeran has continued to face intense scrutiny over the axing of his support act Macklemore earlier this month, with the British singer-songwriter’s fans telling The Independent that “it’s been a hugely difficult time” for the community.
Macklemore was dropped from the US leg of Sheeran’s ongoing Loop tour, allegedly at the behest of Robert Kraft – the billionaire CEO of Kraft Group, which owns Gillette Stadium – due to the “Thrift Shop” rapper’s onstage statements in support of Palestine.
