    I want to understand something: was it Ed Sheeran himself, his management or the places in USA where he was to perform who kicked out Macklemore?

      kraft banned him , then got all the other stadium owners to blacklist macklemore. Ed shareen had to throw up under the bus to keep good graces with kraft, whom is also in the files. also ED has remaining completely silent on the matter, not uttering a word for or against macklemore. So this tells you shareen really wants continued gigs from kraft.

        I cannot honestly blame Ed Sheeran for what happened in that case. It might have been a better look for Ed if he canceled those venues himself, but then he would have pissed off the fans. No winning for him either way in this situation.

          Ed didn’t even need to cancel anything. He could’ve said that he wasn’t going to drop Macklemore and the venues would then have to breach their own contract with him. He would’ve still gotten paid out and then some for breach of contract! But he decided to be complicit.

            The production company dropped Macklemore, Ed did not have a contract with Macklemore. Ed didn’t cause any of this, he just didn’t speak up when he should have.

          Note that these venues had no problem with Kanye’s “Heil Hitler” song.

          Ed Sheeran should have taken a stand for Macklemore and let the venues cancel his performance there. He can probably sue them for damages and find other venues to perform. Instead, he bent over for fascism.

          He could 100% have hit a “Free Palestine” of his own, and if the venues cancel, they’re the assholes. His mealy mouthed both sides nonsense is whats fucking him up now.
