Ed Sheeran's upcoming concert will go ahead despite several musicians withdrawing from his tour, Al Jazeera English reported. The departures followed the expulsion of rapper Macklemore, who was removed after publicly supporting Palestine.
The singer may now perform solo after band members dropped out in solidarity with Macklemore's stance. The controversy triggered public outcry and prompted reconsideration of the tour's direction.
