Ed Sheeran is a famous pop star. He makes a big tour now. The tour is the Loop Tour. A rapper named Macklemore sings at the shows. He is the first act.
Macklemore speaks for Palestine. He says on stage: Free Palestine. This means freedom for Palestine. Then he must leave the tour. The boss of the tour decides this.
Ed Sheeran writes about this on Instagram. He says: The choice is not from him. He talks with many people. He wants to find a fix. But this does not work.
Ed Sheeran wants no politics at his shows. He wants a safe place for kids. He is sad about the war. He says: Pain on both sides makes him sad.
Now other music stars cancel too. The group Lukas Graham stops. Finneas O'Connell stops too. They want to help Macklemore. They say: Artists must share their views.
Aaron Rowe and the group Beoga stop too. They come from Ireland. They say: We know bad rule from our past. So they feel with Palestine.
There is news about Robert Kraft. He owns a big stadium in the USA. He makes pressure. He does not want Macklemore in his stadium. Ed Sheeran has no first acts now.
