Ed Sheeran has described the Gaza war as “catastrophic” at his first reported show since Macklemore was dropped as a support act on his tour.
The English singer’s comments followed Macklemore’s pro-Palestinian remarks onstage. The decision to remove the rapper from the tour has prompted controversy, although the source material does not identify who made it or specify the comments involved.
Several other support acts have reportedly withdrawn from the tour, publishing statements that cited their support for Palestinians, according to France 24 International.
Sheeran made the remarks as the tour resumed, with historical context placing the concert at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Saturday night. The supplied material does not provide the exact date of the performance.
Some concertgoers were seen attempting to sell their tickets, while others expressed support for Sheeran, France 24 reported. The number and identities of the withdrawing acts were not provided.
