Aaron Rowe, Ed Sheeran's opening act, is off the tour. Rowe withdrew after Macklemore was taken off the bill. Macklemore was removed following onstage pro-Palestinian statements. Reports said Rowe left in support of him.
Sheeran noted the decision to drop Macklemore was made by the promoter, and not his decision. No further details were provided. The tour continues without both performers.
