\n\tAlthough Ed Sheeran<\/a> has no more openers on his Loop Tour, at least one artist is coming to his defense after dropping Macklemore<\/a> over his pro-Palestine remarks.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Friday, after departing the tour<\/a>, Aaron Rowe<\/a> defended Sheeran for his \u201chuman f*cking error\u201d in caving to Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft<\/a>\u2018s demand that he remove Macklemore from the tour, arguing that instead, people should be \u201cusing this opportunity to plaster Robert Kraft\u2019s face everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m gonna be honest, I think you are all focusing on the wrong person here. All I keep hearing is Ed Sheeran this, Ed Sheeran that, but you really should be focusing on the likes of Robert Kraft,\u201d he began in the video<\/a> on Instagram. \u201cYou really should be focusing on the zionist lobbies that are trying to silence the voices of people who are shouting about genocide, the genocide that is happening in Palestine right now, by Israel.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLook, I know Ed\u2019s statement could have been a lot better, and I do think that Macklemore shouldn\u2019t have been pulled off the tour. I fully believe it was panicked stations over there, and they rushed to a decision because they didn\u2019t know what to do, because they were getting it from all angles.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRowe continued, \u201cThat\u2019s a mistake from a person. And I haven\u2019t had a chance to fucking talk to Ed too much, but I fully believes he knows that was a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPointing out that all of Sheeran\u2019s openers were pro-Palestine, Rowe said, \u201cIf Ed Sheeran was a fucking zionist, why would he have all these fucking people on the fucking tour? It was human fucking error. You all know my stance on Palestine. I\u2019ll tell you right now, first hand, I know Ed Sheeran has done so much for so many fucking people, including artists like me, who he\u2019s literally changed their entire lives. All he has inside of him is kindness. That is who Ed Sheeran is, and yes, like every other human being, he makes fucking mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter calling out the Irish government\u2019s role in the Israel-Hamas<\/a> conflict, Rowe turned his attention back to Kraft, urging others to do the same.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn the music industry, within the media, there are people with so much money and fucking power, that they\u2019re able to basically shut down any opinion they don\u2019t agree with. You should be using this opportunity to plaster Robert Kraft\u2019s face everywhere, someone who tried to shut down free speech, someone who tried to silence the voices of people who are shouting about genocide. That\u2019s what you should be using your energy on, not fucking Ed Sheeran, for fuck\u2019s sake,\u201d added Rowe.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Monday, Sheeran dropped Macklemore from his tour<\/a> amid an outcry around his \u201cFree Palestine<\/a>\u201d onstage remarks. Sheeran subsequently released a statement saying it was the \u201cpromoter\u2019s decision<\/a>\u201d after Kraft assembled several of the tour venues to give him an ultimatum.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing the statement, Rowe and fellow openers Finneas and Lukas Graham dropped out of the tour<\/a>, along with Sheeran\u2019s backing band Beoga.<\/p>\n
