Ed Sheeran returned to the stage in Philadelphia after his tour paused following the removal of opening act Macklemore, who had voiced support for Palestine. Some fans expressed reluctance to move forward, describing feelings of betrayal as the tour resumed without the rapper.
Sheeran acknowledged the unusual circumstances in his opening remarks to the crowd at Lincoln Financial Field, according to The Guardian. The removal of Macklemore marked a significant shift in the tour's lineup and drew criticism from supporters who backed his public statements on the conflict.
