Ed Sheeran loses followers over Gaza stance
British singer Ed Sheeran faced a new crisis that resulted in him losing around half a million followers on his official Instagram account within a week, due to a political controversy related to the Palestine issue. The crisis began after American rapper Macklemore was excluded from his "Loop" tour concerts because of his pro-Palestine statements, which led other artists and the band to withdraw in solidarity with the Palestinian cause. In an effort to ease tensions, Sheeran issued a statement during his concert in Philadelphia, describing the events of October 7th as terrifying, calling what is happening in Gaza a catastrophic and unjustifiable tragedy, and criticizing the situation in the West Bank. This drew widespread criticism, and he apologized to the audience for bringing politics into his concerts, noting that it had been one of his toughest weeks.
