Aaron Rowe, Ed Sheeran's opener, is off the tour. Rowe withdrew after Macklemore was dropped from the schedule. Macklemore got cut because of pro-Palestinian remarks during a performance. Reports said Rowe left in solidarity with him.
Sheeran said the decision to drop Macklemore came from the promoter, rather than his own choice. No further details were provided. The tour moves on without both performers.
