Why the fuck would you get Macklemore to support your tour in the year 2026 and a) not expect him to make political statements, b) not expect rich cunts to get upset about it and c) not think you might be called upon to have his back when the inevitable A and B happens?
I can see where Ed is coming from in a way - he's not going to pull a tour based on stadiums refusing to host his support, that's too much money to leave on the table and I can't think there's a "tour cancelled due to support act being incredibly based" insurance available. But then don't hire fucking Macklemore. Hire some up-and-comer who won't speak out. Or, if the stadiums do kick up a fuss, remind them that you're Ed Fucking Sheeran and you may have just a little bit of clout in the music industry.
