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 were cancelled due to severe weather warnings. The stadium belongs to pro-Israel billionaire Robert Kraft, who had previously pushed for Macklemore's removal from the tour due to his pro-Palestinian remarks. The decision to cancel the shows was made with the safety of fans, staff, and everyone involved as the top priority.
Tickets purchased through Ticketmaster would be automatically refunded, while refunds for other purchase points are currently available. Ed Sheeran's American tour has been overshadowed by backlash for dropping his pro-Palestinian support act, Macklemore.
