“I don’t want to disappoint fans, and I’ve never wanted to be an activist musician, but this put me in the middle of an important and passionate argument about freedom of speech and the most complex political issue on the planet,” Sheeran said.
The problems in the Middle East are spreading. Iran's proxy group, Hamas, doesn't seem to be content with making life miserable for Israel or with remaining in Gaza. Now it appears to be working to spread into Europe — in this case, Germany, where several Hamas plotters have been indicted for storing weapons and ammunition for an October 7, 2023-style attack on German citizens.
Ed Sheeran opened his concert Saturday with comments about Gaza after controversy swirled around his tour and supporting acts withdrew in solidarity with opener Macklemore, who was dropped after making pro-Palestinian comments onstage. Sheeran began the concert alone on stage with no opener, but was joined by other musicians later in the show. Sheeran said he wants his music and shows to be about unity and humanity, not politics, but called the attacks in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, 'horrific' and what is happening in Gaza, “catastrophic and unjustifiable.” Start your day with "Morning in America," NewsNation's live three-hour national weekend morning newscast hosted by Anna Kooiman.
