Ed Sheeran really needs the money, guys. Don't pounce on a poor kid like Ed Sheeran. I'm sure that if he had a social safety net, he would also be willing to protest against active genocide like the upperclass wealthman, Macklemore.
Joking aside, is anyone surprised by music venue owners being the shittiest people in existence?
I'll give him an inch, because he does come from a place where they'll jail you for defending Palestine, but also, he's got money, he has nothing to fear. Ultimately, this is pure cowardice.
What did Sheeran have to do with it?
I'm sure if he threatened not to perform the venues would back down immediately. Sheeran is hardly powerless in this situation.
It's sheeran's tour that is continuing with neither pause nor Macklemore, his friend. I blame Kraft 90% and Sheeran 10%.
“Friend”
Oops I forgot about the money truck backing into my driveway, guess them kids deserve to be bombed
learning about how being politically nuteral is impossible in an extremist environment. sitting on the fence just means you support the outcome of 'might make right' extremists.
