All supporting acts quit Ed Sheeran's tour amid Macklemore Palestine row

Ed Sheeran's US tour has been plunged into turmoil after all four of its supporting acts announced on Tuesday that they were withdrawing from the shows. The move came in solidarity with American rapper Macklemore, who had earlier been dropped from the tour after making comments in support of Palestine.

Irish acts Aaron Rowe and Beoga, Danish band Lukas Graham, and American singer Finneas all confirmed they would no longer perform on the tour.

The coordinated withdrawal marks a significant show of solidarity within the music industry and highlights the controversy surrounding Macklemore's removal. No further details have been given about how the tour will proceed or whether replacement acts will be announced.
