Macklemore has been dropped from the remainder of Ed Sheeran’s U.S. tour after multiple venues refused to host him. The decision followed the rapper’s chants of “Free Palestine” and comments with Gaza-related imagery during recent opening performances.

The tour promoter confirmed the removal was due to venue objections over the rapper’s anti-Israel activism.
