Ed Sheeran's US tour has been overshadowed by international backlash after Macklemore, his opening act, was dropped over his pro-Palestinian stance; weekend shows at Gillette Stadium, owned by pro-Israel businessman Robert Kraft, were subsequently cancelled, officially attributed to severe weather.
