Ed Sheeran has laid bare just how deeply the Macklemore controversy has impacted him… personally.
At the same show where the hitmaker apologized onstage and addressed the Gaza crisis head-on, he ended his set by breaking down about how longtime friends and even family members have been “backing away” amid the firestorm.
Full story below…
Sheeran returned to the stage at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field following one of the most turbulent weeks of his career.
At the start of the show, the 35-year-old addressed the controversy surrounding Macklemore’s removal from the ‘Loop Tour,’ apologized for mistakes made, and spoke candidly about Israel, Gaza, Palestine, and freedom of expression.
Yet, as the night progressed, the ordeal appeared to hit the hitmaker on an even more personal level.
Fighting back tears, Sheeran told the 50,000-capacity crowd:
“The world is a scary place right now. Tonight has been honestly the best show of my life. In these situations you really find out who your friends are… people I’ve known from years ago are backing away.”
Per Page Six, Sheeran said friends, family members, and people he had known for years appeared to be distancing themselves as calls mounted for him to cancel the tour.
The singer reportedly admitted that the fallout left him questioning whether the trek could continue, whether he would perform again, and even whether he still wanted to be an artist.
The raw admission adds another layer to a saga that has rapidly expanded since Macklemore was removed from the tour following his “Free Palestine” remarks.
FINNEAS, Lukas Graham, Aaron Rowe, and Beoga subsequently withdrew from scheduled dates, while Sheeran’s backing band also stepped away.
Macklemore, Sheeran, and Robert Kraft have since committed millions to humanitarian relief.
With that, what are…
I’m sorry. I don’t know the dynamics of their friendship but if Macklemore were a true friend, he would have did this on his own time. Nothing he said was wrong but this wasn’t your platform to do such a thing because now it is hurting your friend. Period. If ED had sense, he would thank him and separate immediately. Hold a rally or a benefit that brings people in to get your point across. Don’t shitttt on your friend and what he’s building.
This ginger k*** is a moral coward.The duplicity & malice required to read propaganda like this off a stadium teleprompter in front of thousands of people can only be achieved by someone who bows to the will of fascists. A stomach churning diet of self loathing, racism & hatred.
Sickening…
He sounded like a MAGGOT who takes money from AIPAC.. 🙂
Edjamin Sheeranyahu!!!
RIP
😂😂😂😂😂
F u c k Ed Sheeran. He is a degenerate depraved scumbag piece of 💩 who would never dare say this about Ukraine or any other case where the entire media and political class determined that it was the moral and Just cause, meaning that it involves zero risk to him and his half a billion dollars.
Acts dont join a tour to be a puppet of the main act and be told what to say. And its not like he randomly flipped and said something unexpected. Macklmore is known to speak on this issue and is part of his artistry at this point and Ed probably knew this but didnt think it would come to bite him. If calling out the new holocaust makes you look bad thats a problem for eds brand
There is no better definition of White Entitlement than Ed Sheeran crying about losing money and friends while brown children in Gaza lose limbs and an entire future
Lolololol the new holocaust
Get a life stop comparing yourself to the Jews
Fk u and ur mslm baby oil
Go back to Arbia sand ninjas
Again and again and again..When people show you who they are, believe them. Macklemore has shown the world exactly who he is, and Ed has shown the world exactly he is…a coward goyim bowing to a gen0cide Baal agenda.
We need to boycott this site. Why can’t we write P******** but we can write Israel?
Children and women are dying and all he cares about is being a musician and selling tickets?? 🙂 – very insensitive and far far removed for reality just like Diaper Don in the White House. Just made it all about himself…
People r dying everywhere

Teleprompted much… he is worse than Mrs Cow Dung Carter!!!
😆
Boo f****** hoo! You are not the victim here 🙄

I guess this is why Beyonce the mute never says 💩 about 💩. She says Jay, Blu, and the lyrics to her songs, and Tina, and Kelly, and Michele, and Destiny’s Child, and that’s really about it.
Youre very obsessive in your hate for this woman you dont know. Very weird individual
Same club.. same Zion-Baal worshipper..
Not Beyoncé the mute, chiiile! 🤣🤣🤣
The mslm mob with their arb baby oil Qatar based got u Ed. Don’t be scared of them trrists , that’s what they do, now you know, the free Fakeistan is a trror movement
It’s okay to respect basic human life! It won’t hurt you. Interesting name too cause The Jerusalem Post reported on an (Israeli!) pdf monitoring organization that has tracked thousands of pdfs in Israel. Take care!
