The artist Finneas and three other supporting acts quit Ed Sheeran’s tour on Tuesday, after the US rapper Macklemore was removed for his pro-Palestine comments on stage.
Finneas, Irish acts Aaron Rowe and Beoga, and Lukas Graham of Denmark all posted statements announcing they were quitting Sheeran’s “Loop Tour” in solidarity with the rapper and Palestinian people.
"Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed,” Finneas said in a statement on social media.
His statement came after Irish singer Aaron Rowe published a statement, announcing that he had decided to withdraw as a support act for the British singer.
Well well well it’s called the Streisand effect mister Kraft
That’s mister 'get caught at a rub n tug, but had enough lawyers for charges to be dismissed ’ Kraft to you!
America the brave still fears what we don’t know. “God loves all his children” is somehow forgotten, but we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago.
It’s a good thing he talked to and protected them all behind closed doors from being exposed to having an opinion on Palestine. Now they’re safe.
“Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn’t mean I don’t have them and it doesn’t mean I don’t care,” he said.
That is exactly what that means.
He did more than stay quiet. He tried to silence Macklemore. Which does place him firmly on the pro-genocide side. He and p!NK can go and get stuffed
Let’s see Ed Sheeran remain “neutral” over that
