Ed Sheeran forced to make major concert change after openers drop out amid Macklemore drama

Ed Sheeran is returning to his Loop Tour in Philadelphia following the removal of Macklemore from the lineup. This decision led to all opening acts quitting in support of the rapper, who had made several tirades against Israel. Consequently, pro-Palestinian protesters gathered near Lincoln Financial Field, waving flags and chanting. The artist faces a hostile reception at this first concert since the controversy, as demonstrators target the event to protest Macklemore's dismissal from the tour.
