Zach Bryan wears "Free Palestine" shirt during concert at Gillette Stadium
After Macklemore was barred from opening for Ed Sheeran at Gillette Stadium for pro-Palestinian comments, musician Zach Bryan wore a "Free Palestine" shirt during his Friday show.
During his concert at Gillette Stadium on Friday, musician Zach Bryan wore a shirt displaying the words "Free Palestine" alongside "An appeal to heaven" with a pine tree logo. This comes weeks after rapper Macklemore was barred from opening for Ed Sheeran at the same venue due to pro-Palestinian comments he made. Some members of Bryan's band also wore similar shirts.
The phrase "An appeal to heaven" has roots in the Revolutionary War, when it was on the official maritime flag of Massachusetts until 1971. WBZ-TV reached out to Gillette Stadium for comment, but as of now, no response has been received. Macklemore was dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour following his pro-Palestinian remarks at a New Jersey show, with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft pulling him from the scheduled Gillette Stadium concerts.
In response, Sheeran's concerts at Gillette were canceled due to a nor'easter. Since then, Macklemore has pledged $1 million for Palestinian support and called on Kraft to match his donation.
