Macklemore Ends Tour in London
American rapper Macklemore wrapped up his charity tour, “Free Palestine,” with a sold-out show at London’s OVO Arena Wembley, following stops in Dublin and Paris. He said that staying silent about the suffering in Gaza had troubled him more than the consequences of publicly taking a stand. Proceeds from the tour went to 12 Palestinian and international organizations working in health care, education and relief. Macklemore also pledged an additional $1 million and said he would direct streaming royalties from his song “Hind’s Hall” to UNRWA. The concert went ahead despite a letter signed by 50 members of the UK House of Lords calling for him to be barred from entering the country. It featured appearances by artists and activists, including Greta Thunberg, as well as recorded messages of solidarity from international stars.
