Tommy Robinson backs Ed Sheeran as Paloma Faith and Ms Rachel side with Macklemore

British pop star Ed Sheeran is facing a crisis after rapper Macklemore was removed from his US tour over pro-Palestinian comments he made while performing. This decision has led to the withdrawal of Sheeran's four other supporting acts and his band, raising questions about the possibility of a tour cancellation. Tommy Robinson, a prominent British far-right activist, has come out in support of Sheeran, tweeting: "I support @edsheeran, fuck Palestine."

Additionally, singer Paloma Faith criticized Sheeran's claims of not bringing politics into his performances, while many other celebrities, including actress Ms Rachel, politicians Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, and climate activist Greta Thunberg, have also voiced their disapproval of the decision to drop Macklemore.

Boy George, a longtime defender of Israel, has also sided with Sheeran, condemning Macklemore for turning the conflict into a publicity stunt.
