Antonoff Slams Sheeran for Dropping Macklemore Over Palestine Stance

Jack Antonoff has publicly criticized Ed Sheeran for removing Macklemore as an opener from his tour following pro-Palestinian comments made by the latter. Antonoff urged artists to "stand the f*** up" and not allow billionaires to dictate their actions, suggesting Sheeran should have canceled the tour or performed for free rather than censor Macklemore.

Macklemore, meanwhile, has launched his own "Free Palestine" tour in Dublin, dedicating the shows to "love and liberation." He has stated that proceeds from this tour will benefit organizations supporting Palestinians. This comes after he was dropped from Sheeran's tour after delivering a speech on stage advocating for Palestine.
