Ed Sheeran's early mentor dies at 44

Ed Sheeran opened his Philadelphia show by apologizing to fans for mistakes following the removal of Macklemore from his tour. The controversy stems from Macklemore stating Free Palestine during a previous performance, which led to other openers quitting. Additionally, the music community mourns the loss of Sway DaSafo, an award-winning British rapper and early mentor to Ed Sheeran, who has died at the age of 44. Sheeran addressed these complex events during his recent US appearance.
