Zach Bryan Wears ‘Free Palestine’ Shirt During Concert at Robert Kraft’s Gillette Stadium
The performance follows Gillette Stadium owner Kraft's prior controversy with Macklemore over his removal from Ed Sheeran's tour due to his pro-Palestinian statements.
Country music artist Zach Bryan appeared at a concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts, wearing a "Free Palestine" T-shirt on Friday, drawing attention to the ongoing conflict. This follows a controversy earlier this year where New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft pressured Ed Sheeran to drop Macklemore from his tour due to the rapper's pro-Palestinian remarks.
Macklemore was removed from the tour, causing other supporting acts to withdraw in solidarity. Bryan's choice of attire is seen as a direct challenge to Kraft, who previously denounced Macklemore's comments as "deeply offensive" and pressured Sheeran to drop him. Both Bryan and Kraft declined to comment on the Israel-Palestine conflict following the concert.
