Roger Waters posts a message addressing Ed Sheeran as a “little prick” in the context of the ongoing public dispute involving Macklemore and reactions to Palestine. The remarks are made while Sheeran is described as refusing to “take sides,” which has prompted criticism from some public figures.
Both outlets frame the controversy as part of broader celebrity commentary around Palestine-related issues. Euronews also highlights that Waters is not the only celebrity weighing in, listing other figures who are backing Macklemore and criticising Sheeran. NME focuses more directly on Waters’ language and the implied contrast between people who “do the right thing” and those Waters portrays as not doing so. Together, the reports show that the controversy centers on whose stance is viewed as supportive, and that the disagreement extends beyond the main artists to multiple public commentators.
