Singer Ed Sheeran has apologised for removing rapper Macklemore from his US tour after Macklemore made pro-Palestine remarks. Sheeran described Israel's actions in Gaza as "catastrophic and unjustifiable and disproportionate."

• Macklemore was dropped from the tour after saying "Free Palestine" at a concert on September 4, 2026.
• The decision was reportedly made by stadium owners, including Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots.
• Other supporting acts quit the tour in solidarity with Macklemore.
