He later emphasised that his help for Palestinians is “by no means a criticism” of Jewish individuals. “To all of my Jewish brothers and sisters; criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being in opposition to genocide, by no means is a criticism of you,” he stated on stage.
In a stament, first shared with Rolling Stone, Messina Touring Group, promoter of the U.S. leg of Sheeran’s Loop Tour, stated: “Because the live performance promoter for Ed Sheeran’s U.S. Loop Tour, we have now been notified by venues on the upcoming U.S. tour dates that they won’t permit a live performance to happen with Macklemore on the lineup, which might consequence within the cancellation of the tour and influence a whole bunch of 1000’s of followers. After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore is not going to be acting on the remaining help dates.”
