British singer Ed Sheeran spoke out about the Israel-Gaza conflict during a concert in Philadelphia, describing Israel's war in Gaza as "catastrophic, indefensible, and disproportionate."1 The statement came as Sheeran returned to performing following controversy surrounding the removal of rapper Macklemore from his tour.2
Macklemore was withdrawn from the tour after making pro-Palestine remarks, including saying "Free Palestine," at a New Jersey concert in early September.1 According to Macklemore, billionaire Robert Kraft told Sheeran that the rapper would not be permitted to perform at Gillette Stadium, which Kraft owns.1 Sheeran denied personal responsibility for the decision, stating that the venue threatened to cancel the show if Macklemore continued performing.1 The removal sparked solidarity withdrawals from multiple artists, including Finneas, Lukas Graham, and Aaron Rowe.1
During his Philadelphia performance at Lincoln Financial Field, Sheeran apologized to fans for Macklemore's removal from the tour.2 His remarks also acknowledged that the situation in Gaza is "catastrophic and unacceptable."2 Pro-Palestine protesters demonstrated at the Philadelphia venue.2 The conflict has claimed over 70,000 lives in Gaza following Hamas's October 7 attack that resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths.1 The Palestinian Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel has called for a boycott of Sheeran's world tour.1
