          Took me 5 seconds to find out that he has a net “worth” of hundreds of millions of dollars.

          He could DEFINITELY afford the financial hit from not being a genocide enabling scumbag.

      Because it was one stadium, can’t be confirmed they all did it, and then he was also dropped from ALL upcoming shows. ED would have had that decision pass his desk. And at very least, if he doesn’t revoke it and fire the people who work for him that did (if he really didn’t know), then he is complicit.

        I believe he was barred from eight of the 10 upcoming shows. Those eight just all happen to be at NFL stadiums.

        That stadium owner got other stadium owners to join the boycott.

        Ed very likely has no say over tour decisions like that.

          He has a say on whether he lets such bullshit go unchallenged, though.

          He is just as able to pull out as his supporting acts are, if not more.

          Yeah maybe but that’s not confirmed. But also, it was them putting pressure on Ed Sheerans managment directly to make the decision. Entirely my assumption that such a huge decision, to drop a major artist, would at least be mentioned to Ed.
