Rapper Macklemore announces ‘Free Palestine’ tour after Ed Sheeran fallout

Rapper Macklemore is set to kick off a "Free Palestine" tour following his removal from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour earlier this month. The American artist, whose real name is Benjamin Haggerty, announced the tour on Thursday, stating that proceeds will go to organizations supporting Palestinians. The last two weeks have demonstrated a "collective awakening around Palestinian liberation," Macklemore said, and emphasized that the decision to drop him from the tour was made by his promoter, not by Sheeran.
