Piers Morgan has hit out at Ed Sheeran for “bowing to the mob” during his Philadelphia concert after the singer tearfully addressed the controversy around Macklemore’s removal from his tour.
On Saturday, the British singer-songwriter took to the stage for the first time since Macklemore announced that he had been fired from Sheeran’s Loop tour over his pro-Palestine comments at an earlier gig. The rapper claimed that Robert Kraft – the CEO of Kraft Group who owns Gillette Stadium – personally called Sheeran to say he would not be allowed to perform at the venue, while Sheeran later responded by stating he would not be drawn into a public debate about the Gaza war and that it was “the promoter’s decision” to remove Macklemore.
