Ed Sheeran loses 200,000 Instagram followers after Macklemore removed from U.S. tour

Ed Sheeran has lost more than 200,000 Instagram followers after Macklemore was removed from the U.S. leg of his Loop Tour following pro-Palestinian remarks. Sheeran said it was not his decision, but the backlash grew, and all other support acts, including Finneas, Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham, and Beoga, quit the tour. Together, these artists gained 1.6 million followers. The tour continues in Philadelphia, with Sheeran scheduled to perform at Gillette Stadium later this month.
