Ed Sheeran’s support acts all withdraw from tour after Macklemore’s removal

Four of Ed Sheeran's support acts, including his backing band, have withdrawn from his tour. The walkout occurred following the removal of rapper Macklemore from the lineup.

Macklemore was removed from the tour after making remarks in support of a Palestinian state while performing on stage. The subsequent withdrawal of the remaining support acts and backing band marks a significant escalation stemming from that initial decision.
