Ed Sheeran’s Friday and Saturday shows at Gillette Stadium are off after his touring company cited severe New England weather warnings and put fan safety first. NBC News reported that Messina Touring scrubbed the British pop star’s weekend dates at the New England Patriots’ home in Massachusetts after severe weather warnings blanketed Boston and the wider region. The call came as a multiday nor’easter bore down on the East Coast from Virginia to Rhode Island, with coastal flood alerts covering about 33 million people and wind gusts forecast to hit as high as 60 mph on Saturday in coastal spots. Organizers framed the move as a safety decision, not a scheduling preference. Ticket holders who bought through Ticketmaster were told…Open

What controversy regarding free speech and political stances was associated with Ed Sheeran's tour prior to the weather cancellations?

REDSTATE (Jerry Wilson) - A Conversation With Terry Scott Taylor, the Best Christian Artist You've Probably Never Heard Of

The recent kerfuffle involving British popster Ed Sheeran and his train wreck of a current stadium tour, which was derailed by opening act Macklemore’s thinly disguised antisemitic rants that eventually saw him kicked off the bill, is a reminder that while seldom failing to garner attention, artistic controversy in and of itself is no guarantee of acclaim from any element of current culture. There are artists such as Bruce Springsteen and Tom Morello who have turned strident political stands into a cottage industry, knowing their every statement will be lapped up by an in-agreement media and thereby fueling the milking of whichever pose neatly fits within today’s cause du jour for maximum profit.

Fans who filled Ed Sheeran's Philadelphia stadium after Macklemore's ouster warn that artists who push politics will alienate half their crowd, and they came for the music, not a lecture. Concertgoers outside Lincoln Financial Field told reporters they want an escape, not a campaign stop. After the "Thrift Shop" rapper was cut from the tour over "Free Palestine" comments, Ed Sheeran played the night alone, and the people who paid for tickets made their preference plain. Fox News Digital spoke with fans last Saturday who said performers who force a political line split the room and spoil the night. One woman put the cost in blunt terms: pick a side on stage, and you lose half the people who showed up to hear the songs. That is the friction…Open

Grammy-winning singer Ed Sheeran told a Philadelphia crowd of 50,000 that friends and family walked away from him after he removed rapper Macklemore from his Loop Tour, a controversy that has now spilled into public feuds, million-dollar donations, and onstage tears. Sheeran, 35, sat cross-legged on the stage at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday night, September 19, and wept as he described the past week as one of the worst of his life. He told the crowd he had been urged from every direction to cancel the tour after Macklemore, 43, was dropped from the bill following a "Free Palestine" speech at an earlier show. Sheeran did not cancel. He played. And then he told the audience exactly what it had cost him. "It happened very quickly,"…Open
