Ed Sheeran has said it was not his decision to remove US rapper Macklemore from his tour over comments about Gaza. During a show at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey last week, Macklemore, 43, said that he wanted people in Gaza and the West Bank to know they had not been forgotten, which led to a petition demanding he be removed from the remaining dates. On Monday, he posted on Instagram confirming that Sheeran and his team had then “made the decision to remove” him from the Loop Tour. Speaking with Political Commentator Candice Holdsworth and Broadcaster Lewis Oakley, Talk's Peter Cardwell says: "Macklemore, or as I like to call him, Mackle-less!" #edsheeran #macklemore #petercardwell #talk Have you got a story?
