POLICY WIRE — City, Country — Irish singer Aaron Rowe has called for public anger over the recent controversy surrounding Ed Sheeran’s U.S. tour to be directed at New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft instead of the musician.

Rowe, who was one of the supporting acts that left Sheeran’s Loop tour after rapper Macklemore was removed for pro-Palestine remarks, said in a social media video that the real issue lies with Kraft, who reportedly barred Macklemore from his stadium following an onstage call for free Palestine.

He criticized the focus on Sheeran, saying the attention should instead be on “Zionist lobbies” and figures like Kraft who he claims are trying to suppress free speech. Rowe also defended Sheeran, stating he was not responsible for the decision to remove Macklemore and that the musician had no intention of silencing political voices.
