Ed Sheeran concerts cancelled in fresh blow to tour
It comes as another setback to Sheeran’s US Loop tour, which has been beset by controversy since Macklemore, a supporting artist, was dropped over his “Free Palestine” chants.
Ed Sheeran's concerts at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, have been cancelled due to severe weather warnings. The venue announced the cancellation of the Friday and Saturday night shows, citing the safety of fans, staff, and everyone involved as the top priority. Tickets will be refunded automatically through Ticketmaster.
The cancellations come amid controversy surrounding Sheeran's US Loop tour. Supporting artist Macklemore was dropped from the tour after making comments supporting a Palestinian state on stage. According to Global News, a multi-day nor'easter is expected to hit the east coast of the US, with Boston, New York City, and Washington, D.C. residents warned of heavy rains and gusty winds.
The severe weather warnings prompted the cancellation of Sheeran's concerts, with event organizers consulting with local officials, the promoter, and the tour before making the decision.
