You may have heard that Ed Sheeran recently lost all his opening acts. After Macklemore ruffled feathers by using his platform as Sheeran’s opening act to advocate for a free Palestine, Sheeran capitulated to his friend Robert Kraft and other stadium owners by kicking Macklemore off his tour, then shared self-pitying statements online and onstage. All of the rest of Sheeran’s support acts dropped off the tour in solidarity, as did Sheeran’s backing band. At his first show back, Sheeran performed without an opening act, but he’s since found at least one performer willing to share a stage with him.
