Zach Bryan ‘Free Palestine’ t-shirt explained

During a performance at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, country singer Zach Bryan wore a 'Free Palestine' t-shirt, likely sending a message to the venue's owner, Robert Kraft. The shirt, from Wear the Peace organization, was also seen on other band members, including guitarist Noah Le Gros who wore a green jersey with 'Palestine' written on it.

The t-shirt was an apparent display of support for Palestine, a stance that has led to controversy and removal of other artists from touring with Sheeran. Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of the NFL's New England Patriots, played a significant role in the removal of Macklemore from Ed Sheeran's tour after he made pro-Palestine statements.

The Gillette Stadium concerts, scheduled for September 25 and 26, were ultimately cancelled due to severe weather warnings.
