Aaron Rowe, Ed Sheeran's support act, is off the tour. Rowe stepped away 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 the promoter's call, not by him. No further details were given. The tour moves on without both performers.
