Ed Sheeran controversy: Did KATSEYE unfollow the singer amid Macklemore tour fallout?

Ed Sheeran's Loop tour hit a major snag after all four of his supporting acts, Finneas, Irish artists Aaron Rowe and Beoga, and Danish band Lukas Graham, quit within hours of each other. The move came in solidarity with rapper Macklemore, who was dropped from the tour after making pro-Palestinian remarks onstage. Sheeran says the decision to remove Macklemore wasn't his, but the promoter's, and has avoided being drawn further into the controversy as the tour continues without a replacement act.

Ed Sheeran's ongoing The Loop Tour is facing controversy over political expression after rapper Macklemore was dropped from the US leg. The matter has now led the rest of the planned support acts, including Finneas, Lukas Graham, Aaron Rowe and Beoga, to step down from the tour. The problem began earlier this month when Macklemore called for a “Free Palestine” during his performances at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium. He also spoke about people in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, and performed his protest song Hind’s Hall.

However, Messina Touring Group, the promoter for the US leg, claimed venues had indicated that concerts would not go ahead with Macklemore in the lineup.

Play celebrates love, life, culture, exploring, creativity, and technicolour. I’ve loved making this record and the last 6 months have been just what I needed to get back into the swing of things - to reheat my love for pop, and popping up".</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/ed-sheeran-compares-om-shanti-om-with-star-wars-this-is-a-weird-analogy-1757622221413"><strong>Ed Sheeran compares Om Shanti Om with Star Wars: 'This is a weird analogy'</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"It’s an album I’m immensely proud of, and just makes me feel good.

It was really nice for him to see that.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sheeran shot the Sapphire music video in all corners of India.

I was proper spellbound by his voice, the song, the scene in the movie. I checked him out, and got in touch, and said whenever you wanna sing together I’m down. He was playing London, so I went to guest with him and sing Perfect there, it was an incredible show,” the 34-year-old singer wrote in a heartfelt note on Instagram recently.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“I played him an early version of Sapphire in the dressing room, and he instantly had ideas for instruments and melodies. We then were pen pals over email for a bit, until I was in India for a tour. I said to him, we should finish this in person, and he said, please come to my hometown so I can show you my home and culture,” he added.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In February this year, the singer met with Arijit after his concert in Mumbai and enjoyed a scooty ride at the latter’s hometown in Jiyaganj, West Bengal.

<p>Ed Sheeran is currently in India for his Mathematics tour. On Wednesday, February 5, he performed the second show of his tour in Chennai. To make the performance even more memorable for his fans, the British singer invited Indian musician A.R. Rahman on to the stage.
