Rapper Macklemore is a vocal supporter of Palestine and Gaza residents. During a recent concert at MetLife Stadium, he yelled "Free Palestine!" onstage, projected images of devastation in the area, and performed protest song "Hind's Hall."

Now, it seems that American venues are not willing to play ball with the Seattle artist, and he has been dropped from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour.

"After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates," according to Messina Touring Group, the promoter of Loop Tour. This news follows backlash from organizations like StopAntisemitism and others, such as pop star Pink.

Ed Sheeran is the quintessential red-headed bastard step-child.

This is taking a side Ed.

Yep as the wonderful mister technology connections made me think and realise in one of his unexpected but very welcome rants, people who claim to be apolitical remain so until politics comes for them, then they suddenly become political, selfish asses.
