‘Off our playlist!’: Fly FM pulls Ed Sheeran from airwaves, backs artists speaking up for Palestine

Fly FM has removed Ed Sheeran from its playlist, vowing to support Palestine and artists who speak out for the cause, according to a Facebook post. The Malaysian radio station drew parallels to US rapper Macklemore being dropped from Sheeran's Loop Tour for advocating Palestine, with a graphic featuring the phrase "Off our playlist!

The post garnered 115 likes at the time of writing, eliciting supportive comments from fans and radio personalities alike.
