Macklemore was dropped from Ed Sheeran's US run after voicing onstage 'Free Palestine' statements. Rolling Stone, Billboard, The Guardian, The Washington Post and RTE reported the decision.
Pink revealed she faced heavy backlash after criticising his performances. She explained she was speaking up for her own people and it was lonelier than expected. Macklemore has since said that at a certain level of exposure, the phrase turns into too big a risk.
