Macklemore faces calls to be barred from Britain after 50 UK peers urged Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to revoke his electronic travel authorisation ahead of his Free Palestine Tour concert at London's OVO Arena, Wembley, on Friday, 30 October.
The rapper announced the tour after his removal from Ed Sheeran's tour, a decision that followed pro-Palestinian comments he delivered on stage. He pledged to donate money from ticket sales to organisations supporting Palestine. The peers' objection centres on the prospect of some concert proceeds reaching the Palestinian Youth Movement.
