Macklemore Kicked Off Ed Sheeran Tour for Pro-Palestine Comments

Macklemore acrescenta que tem falado em apoio à Palestina no palco há quase três anos. “Então, por que isso é um problema agora? Porque agora estou compartilhando um palco com um dos maiores artistas do mundo, em alguns dos maiores estádios da América.”.

At a certain level of exposure, ‘Free Palestine’ becomes too much of a risk. If I kept doing the shows, saying Free Palestine, with Ed implicitly supporting it, the crowd getting loud and showing undeniable support for Palestinian liberation, what artist might speak out next.

The stage becomes resistance. Maybe that’s why this time it became so important to silence me.” He also says his friendship with Sheeran would not “disappear because of one painful disagreement.”.
