After removing Macklemore and watching his remaining openers and backing band walk away, the British singer finally stated his position on Israel and Palestine from a Philadelphia stage.
The Irish singer-songwriter says the backlash over Macklemore’s removal is aimed at the wrong figure and points instead at the New England Patriots owner.
The Gillette Stadium owner says the request came before Macklemore challenged him to match the rapper’s $1 million donation to Gaza relief organisations.
Roger Waters has publicly backed Macklemore after the rapper was removed from Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour, directing criticism at Sheeran. The intervention adds another public voice to the fallout around the tour change.
