People might call it an obsession with Ed, but when you’ve been a fan since day one, it feels different. We literally grew up with his music. His songs were there through heartbreaks, happiness, healing, growing up, and so many little moments in between.
To the fans who chose to boycott Ed, I honestly don’t know what to say. We may see things differently, but for some of us, his music has been part of our lives for years. That connection doesn’t just disappear overnight.
Ed hablando sobre el escenario B y los musicos de la banda:
“Se ha hablado mucho de que los teloneros no están esta noche y también de que los músicos con los que suelo tocar en el escenario no están aqui
Para ser honesto, en esta parte del concierto suelo estar en un gran escenario en el centro y realmente no sabía cómo sería el público esta noche. No sabía si me iban a tirar cosas. No sabía si la gente estaría enfadada conmigo. Lo siento
Pido disculpas, pero hoy quité el escenario B porque tenía miedo de lo que pudiera pasar si me quedaba en el medio. Lo admito. Así que el espectáculo es un poco diferente
Hay ciertas canciones que simplemente no funcionan tan bien con el loop pedal y cuando mis amigos se retiraron de este espectáculo, pensé: ‘¿Como voy a mantener el espectáculo igual? ¿Como voy a conseguir que haya músicos que se suban al escenario conmigo en una semana en la que nadie quiere subirse al escenario conmigo?’
Llamé a una amiga mía que es una persona estupenda y estuve de gira con ella todo el año pasado y le dije: ¿te subirías al escenario conmigo?. Y ella dijo que sí
Le pregunté si tenía amigos músicos y me dijo que sí. Y han tenido tres días para aprenderse estas canciones. Y aceptaron salir al escenario sabiendo que el mundo también podría odiarlos por subirse al escenario conmigo
Estoy muy agradecida. Quiero dar la bienvenida a Mike en la batería, a CJ al teclado, a Eric en el bajo, a Clay en la guitarra y a mi querida, querida amiga Alicia en el violín”
🚨 One of Ed Sheeran's opening acts Aaron Rowe is asking fans to pump the brakes on any hate toward the singer following Macklemore's exit ... even after Aaron himself quit Ed's tour. 👀

Aaron Rowe is defending Ed Sheeran after dropping out of his tour:
“I know Ed’s statement could have been a lot better, and I do think that Macklemore shouldn’t have been pulled off the tour. I fully believe it was panic station over there, and they rushed the decision because they didn’t know what to fucking do because they were getting it from all angles. That’s a mistake… I haven’t had a chance to fucking talk to Ed much, but I fully believe he knows that was a mistake.”

Jeremy has weighed in on the recent attempt to cancel Ed Sheeran after the Macklemore controversy. In this week’s column in The Sun, he wrote the following:
"He literally said nothing at all and, for that, his fans are trying to offload tickets for his forthcoming tour, his support acts have all walked and, from what I hear, even his band is refusing to play with him.
‘They want him to sound off on Palestine, and because he’s not really that sort of person, the keyboard warriors have sent him to Coventry."
"How can you protest about Ed when you don’t know what he thinks? Because he hasn’t told us."
What are your thoughts on the matter?
What a super hero Ed is.
His music is pure art 🎸🎤
Brilliant and what an inspiration when things go awry be more Ed and keep going - lesson to us all for sure ❤️👏🏻
🫡Salute to Ed Sheeran. This is what it means to be an entertainer. Everyone else got their fefes’ hurt and they cancelled on the fans. He keeps the music playing for a packed stadium. I don’t know much else about the guy, to be honest.
I’m not a big fan of Ed Sheeran. He creates alright pop songs. I know he’s a good person in the way he treats fans with kindness. I’ve now followed him on Instagram in a bid to stand by him. It’s his right to stand on the fence and keep his political opinions private if he wants.
