Ed Sheeran says it was 'not my decision' to drop Macklemore from tour

Ed Sheeran stated on Instagram that it was not his decision to drop Macklemore from his US tour. Macklemore, whose real name is Benjamin Haggerty, was removed after making pro-Palestinian statements at concerts in New Jersey, which drew criticism from Jewish groups. Sheeran clarified that the decision was made by the tour promoters, Messina Touring Group, and expressed his desire to avoid getting involved in political issues.
