Why are people protesting outside Ed Sheeran show? #edsheeran #macklemore #philidelphia

Pro-Palestine protests are planned outside the US stadium where Ed Sheeran is due to play on Saturday, as tickets for the shows are made available for as low as £56.

This week, the support acts for the singer’s current The Loop tour announced they were dropping out of the remaining dates after Macklemore, real name Benjamin Haggerty, was removed from the line-up for making pro-Palestinian comments onstage.

Ed Sheeran’s since explained: "I am not complicit. I have my personal views on this devastating conflict. Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn’t mean I don’t have them, and it doesn’t mean I don’t care. Nor does it mean I don’t support causes in my own personal way.”
