Saying "Free Palestine" got Macklemore dropped from the Ed Sheeran tour The singer Pink said: " What I need is to be able to say, as a Jewish mom, ‘that scared me, and it scared people I love’ Continuing weaponizing this fear that we can't support Palestine. As if continuing seeing the genocide on every platform was not scary, but that, that is fine. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/sep/14/macklemore-dropped-ed-sheeran-tour-free-palestine #Macklemore
