Macklemore got cut from Ed Sheeran's US tour after delivering onstage 'Free Palestine' statements. Rolling Stone, Billboard, The Guardian, The Washington Post and RTE confirmed the move.
Pink said she received a wave of criticism after panning his live sets. She explained she was standing up for her own people and it was more isolating than expected. Macklemore has since said that at a certain level of exposure, the phrase becomes too much of a risk.
