American rapper Macklemore has stood by his “Free Palestine” message on Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour following calls for him to be removed. The performer opened for Sheeran at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Friday and told the audience he wanted people in Gaza and the West Bank to know they had not been forgotten amid the conflict with Israel. His words sparked a petition from the Israeli American Council, a non-profit group that seeks to unite the Israeli-American community, demanding he be removed from the remaining dates of the tour. Speaking with Journalist Nicole Lampert, Talk's Duncan Barkes says: "I don't want a political rant halfway through the gig!" #freepalestine #macklemore #duncanbarkes #talk Have you got a story?
