American rapper Macklemore has announced a concert tour titled 'Free Palestine' following his removal from a series of upcoming performances with Ed Sheeran. The decision to drop the rapper from the US shows reportedly stems from his vocal criticism of Israel's military actions in Gaza and his public pro-Palestinian commentary.
The announcement of the tour serves as a direct response to the controversy surrounding his departure from the Sheeran shows. By branding the tour with a political message, Macklemore is continuing his public advocacy regarding the conflict in Gaza, positioning his live performances as a platform for his political stance.
