Aaron Rowe leaves Ed Sheeran Loop Tour after Macklemore removal

Irish singer-songwriter Aaron Rowe has withdrawn as an opening act on Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour after Macklemore was removed from the bill. Rowe said in a video Macklemore should not have been pulled, Rolling Stone reported. He defended Sheeran and said focus should be on Robert Kraft. Macklemore was removed after comments supporting Palestinians and criticising Israel's war in Gaza.
