Macklemore was removed from Ed Sheeran's US tour after delivering onstage 'Free Palestine' statements. Rolling Stone, Billboard, The Guardian, The Washington Post and RTE confirmed the move.
Pink revealed she took a wave of criticism after panning his live sets. She added she was standing up for her own people and it was a lonelier experience than anticipated. Macklemore has since said that at a particular level of exposure, the phrase becomes too much of a risk.
