Macklemore has confirmed he was dropped from the remaining US dates of Ed Sheeran's Loop tour after his pro-Palestine remarks sparked criticism and objections from venues. The American rapper said on Monday, 14 September, that a week of private conversations with his long-time friend Sheeran ended in a 'fundamental disagreement' over speaking publicly about Palestine.
Meanwhile, tour promoter Messina Touring Group separately said venues had indicated they would not host shows with Macklemore on the bill, potentially putting upcoming concerts at risk.
