Oh, Ed. Ed, Ed, Edward, Eddington. What have you done, fool?
Now if you play alone you’ll be saying that genocide is ok, AND you’ve be knelt down to the billionaires.
If you get another backing band/openers then you’ll be saying genocide is ok, AND you’ll be actively helping the billionaires.
But if you now pull out of your own tour you’ll be seen as you didn’t want to pull out but were forced to by all the bad publicity about the genocide that you weren’t bothered about in the first place.
Oh, Ed, you’ve painted yourself into a corner, you dumb fucking cunt. All you had to do was have a little bit of spine, but that was just too much to ask of you.
Right? As soon as they threatened it he had all the leverage in the world. He would have all the positive press of saying he was being forced to cancel because of them, and showed solidarity with his fellow musicians. Could have even offered additional concerts in friendlier areas, promoting other cities and getting more dollars there.
Instead he fucked himself. The only way to semi crawl back is to admit his mistake and stand in solidarity, that’s the only move I see, and even then as you said he won’t look strong but like a coward.
he remained silent, as to not upset KRAFT who is giving him all these gigs, and not to enitrely upset his fan base. hes gauging how to approach this without losing his sugar daddy privileges.
Meanwhile, Macklemore is coming out of this looking better than ever 😂
“Clean centrists” almost always means “fascist”
Free Palestine. If those words cost me the stage, while turning the conversation back to Palestine, then it was the most successful tour I’ve been on.”
Kid Rock’s available or the poop guy.
including his “backup band”
Hopefully this recenters Zionist rule over Americans problem for mid terms.
So… Ed Sheeran has been a zionist all this time? That’s explain why he has been famous which such as shitty music. Is the most simple basic npc I have ever Heard.
why is his expression always like this 😟
Tja
Good. Fuck him. Hope his career tanks.
I’ll do it! I can play the guitar. My wife doesn’t like me playing at all. Neither does the neighbors cat. But I’ll do it!
I guess it wasn’t just She that ran.
Well now it’s just She ran
She ran so far awaaahaaay!

It’s great to be on the right side of history.
sometimes your unwarranted hate accidentally becomes incredibly warranted and that feeling rules
Macklemore is the better act anyway. Most people probably would have cleared out after he finished
I never saw Ed Sheeran but I saw Mac and can confirm he puts on a hell of a show.
I saw him at the gorge around when he dropped Thrift Shop. I’d definitely see him again.
I’ve never had the opportunity to see Ed Sheeran, largely because I’ve never sought out the opportunity to see Ed Sheeran.
I never saw either… But, I have a lot of interest seeing Macklemore… I have NO interest seeing Ed Sheeran honestly.
Macklemore probably “speaks” to more people too. I didn’t like his music when I first heard it, but, it grew on me fast
I wouldn’t have thought their fan bases would overlap significantly.
They’ve done more than a few songs together. I don’t really follow either artist but they’ve been collaborating for over ten years now
TIL
Sheeran sings the hook on a ton of rap/ hiphop songs and both are basically pop music artists.
There is definitely an over lap between people who listen to Ed Sheeran and bump thrift shop.
Thank you for the correction.
I don’t think I can name any Ed Sheerhan songs but I think I know the vibe, and Thrift Shop is the only song of Macklemore’s that I know other than the recent protest song.
That’s never stopped a concert gig before. Evanescence shouldn’t have toured with Korn all the time, but they sure as shit did it successfully.
TIL. I’m not really a live music guy.
They used to also have double features at the drive in movie theaters too, and they’d have some odd mashups. I remember watching the movie Big, and the Rambo 3. Place stayed full.
I remember I saw a double feature of Lilo & Stitch paired with the Bourne Identity. Never understood the target audience of that one 😂
The drive-in nearest me still does that. It’s sometimes hard to decide if the kids would make it through all three movies.
i have never had any interest in seeing Ed Sheeran. Would be very interested in seeing Macklemore
So, to me, its weird that Macklemore was only an opening act. I suspect many people could name more Macklemore songs than Ed Sheeran ones, and I definitely hear macklemore on the radio more (on all stations) here in Australia
Yeah, its like having Rammstein opening for your classic rock band.
My ex once took me to see some small band I can’t even remember the name of because it turned out Robert Plant was the opening act. He was secretly opening so he could test out some new material he was working on (Saving Grace) without precolouring people’s perceptions, but he was also Robert Plant so he blew the crowd away. I felt genuinely bad that a bunch of young twenty something’s had been put in the position of having to follow up on one of the greatest singers of all time. I remember them being fine, I might have enjoyed them in another context, but the contrast in skill and experience was just insurmountable.
I didn’t actually give rammstein a proper chance until recently. Was connected to a customers system and they were blasting rammstein, which came to my computer. Actually didn’t mind it. Added it to my library
Engel has my favorite whistle in a song ever, and Feuer Frei is a straight banger.
Also, they been a rock band for like 30 years. They are classic rock :-(
I reckon rammstein and Macklemore would be a better replacement to this anyway.
Give the people what they want
If you like Rammstein, you might like Laibach even more 😂 even Laibach says so
My favourite little clip is from Chad Smith and his interactions with Till Lindeman.
What a crazy 24 hours to follow this. I have no interest in any of these artists but respect to all of them for standing up. I only wish everyone would go one step further and refuse to ever play at Krafts Gillette stadium going forward to really stick it to him.
the house band dropping is bigger than the openers dropping. dude just shat the bed and then rolled in it.
Yep, in reality “Ed Sheeran’s backup musicians” have a lot more to lose here than Sheeran himself does, and they’re doing the right thing. He should follow their lead.
yeah, Beoga’s (the backup musicians/house band’s maybe? i don’t know the tour) statement is worth reading (sorry for the instagram link but i figure direct from the source is best). One wonders why he didn’t consult his band.
