Watch: Will Ed Sheeran cancel his tour as support acts quit?
Ed Sheeran's tour promoter has dropped rapper Macklemore from the singer's upcoming tour following Macklemore's pro-Palestinian stage comments. The BBC examines how this personnel change might affect the logistics and reception of Sheeran's tour.
Why it matters
It highlights the growing tension between artist political expression and the corporate management of large-scale global concert tours.
It began when rapper Macklemore was dropped from the line-up after making pro-Palestinian comments on stage.
Sheeran said the decision to remove Macklemore was made by his tour promoter, not him.
The BBC's Mark Savage looks at how this change may impact Sheeran's upcoming gigs.
