New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft responds to Macklemore by pledging $2 million to “aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis.”
The businessman revealed that the donation was Ed Sheeran’s idea, adding that the singer is reaching out to other venue owners to encourage them to do the same.
FINNEAS has dropped out of Ed Sheeran’s tour:
“Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed. I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates with Ed Sheeran. I stand with Palestine and its people.”
Ed Sheeran has released a statement on Macklemore being removed from his tour for speaking up for Palestine:
“Macklemore coming off tour was the promoter's decision, it was not mine. Macklemore's contract for the tour was with the promoter, not me. […] 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.”
Macklemore reveals Ed Sheeran and his team removed him from his tour after his Free Palestine statements:
“He told me that the words ‘Free Palestine’ and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public facing, ‘I don't take sides.’”
