After Macklemore's Exclusion, All Supporting Artists Withdraw From Ed Sheeran's US Tour
All supporting bands and artists have withdrawn from British singer Ed Sheeran's American tour, just hours after his statements regarding Macklemore's exclusion from the tour and the Gaza issue.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported that all supporting artists scheduled to participate in British singer Ed Sheeran's tour of the United States have withdrawn from the tour, a development that came just hours after artist Macklemore was excluded from it.
According to the report, these withdrawal decisions came hours after Ed Sheeran's statements in which he said he would not engage in public discussion about Gaza, while simultaneously asserting that he was not responsible for Macklemore's exclusion from the tour, and that the decision was made by the tour organizers.
BBC Arabic did not specify the names of the supporting artists who withdrew, nor did it provide additional details about the direct reasons that prompted these artists to make this decision following Macklemore's exclusion.
No official comment has yet been issued by the tour organizers or representatives of Ed Sheeran or Macklemore regarding these developments, according to the report.
This development comes at a time when global artistic and cultural circles are witnessing repeated discussions about the Gaza issue, though the report does not clarify the direct connection between Macklemore's exclusion from the tour and these discussions.
