Liberal lawmakers, activists rally behind Macklemore after Sheeran tour removal over 'Free Palestine' stance

Liberal lawmakers and activists are supporting Macklemore following his removal from Ed Sheeran's tour due to his Free Palestine stance. Macklemore alleges that Robert Kraft influenced stadium owners to force Sheeran's decision, triggering a free speech debate. Consequently, Ed Sheeran has lost all tour openers, as Finneas and Lukas Graham have dropped out. Additionally, the backing band Beoga, which typically performs a mini set during the tour, has also withdrawn amid the ongoing controversy.
