British musician Ed Sheeran blamed his US tour promoter for removing rapper Macklemore from scheduled dates, according to Al Jazeera English. Sheeran said he felt compelled to "set out some facts" following Macklemore's public expressions of support for Palestine.
The removal came after the US rapper voiced his position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Sheeran indicated the decision lay with the promoter rather than with him directly.
