英国歌手Ed Sheeran在费城演唱会上首次公开讨论美国说唱歌手Macklemore因发表亲巴勒斯坦言论而被其巡演除名的争议1。Sheeran表示"我从未想成为一个活动人士音乐家，但这件事使我陷入了一场关于言论自由和全球最复杂政治问题的重要而激烈的辩论之中"1。他强调"我的演唱会始终是一个对所有人都安全的空间"1。
Sheeran澄清除名Macklemore的决定是由其巡演推广方做出，而非他本人所为1。此事引发了多位音乐人退出演唱会，演唱会因此取消了开场表演1。费城演唱会上部分座位空缺，门票价格下跌至32美元（24英镑）1。演唱会开始前，数十名抗议者在最近的地铁站外出现1。
Ed Sheeran publicly commented on the controversy surrounding rapper Macklemore's removal from his tour at a Philadelphia show 1. Sheeran stated that he never wanted to become an activist musician but found himself caught in the middle of "an important and passionate argument about free speech and the most complex political issue on the planet" 1. Macklemore had been removed from the tour following his pro-Palestinian remarks.
According to Sheeran, the decision to remove Macklemore was made by his tour promoters rather than by himself 1. He emphasized that his concerts have "always been a safe space for everyone" 1. The controversy has had tangible consequences for the tour: multiple musicians withdrew from performing, the opening act was cancelled, and ticket prices dropped to as low as $32 (£24), with several seats at the Philadelphia venue remaining empty 1. Dozens of protesters also gathered outside a nearby transit station before the concert began 1.
