    He could have done anything to fight back, have the lawyers make an argument kraft broke the deal by firing macklemore, so sheeran wouldn’t be liable. Go on stage and maliciously comply with the performance.

    I guess you have a point i dont really know the details, did he hire replacement backups?

    Maybe if he goes on stage alone and even says “hey i have to do this show or else i owe $70M” then does an uninspired solo acoustic performance, that would be quite admirable.

    I guess as far as i know, and happy to be corrected, he got replacements and still does the shows as best he can, which really is the most cowardly thing he could do in the situation.

      Knowing Ed, he already did enough by organizing the tour which ended up bringing attention to the cause. I expect nothing more of him. Therefore I cannot hate something that’s fully expectable and normal. What he did was better than not doing anything, and now we (well, you) all hate him for it lmao

      The more I think about it, the more fucked up this is. Straight up bullying.

        So he organized a tour so that his zionist patrons can make more money, and when they fired the pro-Palestinian musicians that redeemed his capitalist musical tour for zionist profit, he said OK and moved on with the tour.
