Charlotte Church accuses Ed Sheeran of choosing capitalism over doing the right thing
Charlotte Church accused singer Ed Sheeran of prioritising consumerism after his promoters dropped pro-Palestinian rapper Macklemore from his US tour.
Promoters made the decision to drop the artist
Sheeran stated that the choice to remove Macklemore was made by his promoters rather than himself. The incident occurred after the rapper delivered pro-Palestinian remarks on stage during a performance. Ticket prices have dropped and sales have declined for the remaining shows in the United States.
Church spoke at her Cardiff concert venue
The singer addressed an audience at the Pop Dungeon in Cardiff on Sunday. She told fans that the conflict had massively changed her perspective on public figures. Church argued that musicians should not avoid politics because it is part of life.
Sheeran apologised to fans for his mistakes
The artist opened his first show since the controversy with an apology to his supporters. He acknowledged making mistakes during the recent events surrounding the tour cancellation. Church added that she is watching how Sheeran handles the situation moving forward.
