Aaron Rowe, Ed Sheeran's support act, has departed the tour. Rowe withdrew after Macklemore was taken off the bill. Macklemore got cut following onstage pro-Palestinian statements. Reports said Rowe left to back him.
Sheeran explained the decision to drop Macklemore was the promoter's call, and not his decision. No further details were shared. The tour moves on without either act.
