Singer-songwriter Aaron Rowe, who previously supported Ed Sheeran on the “Loop” tour, says public anger should be directed at “the likes of Robert Kraft” and “Zionist lobbies.” His comments come after Rowe is described as one of the Irish artists who withdrew from the US leg of Sheeran’s shows.
According to reporting, several artists quit the US dates after rapper Macklemore is removed from the concerts, following a “Free Palestine” speech. The Independent and NME both connect Rowe’s decision to these events, but NME includes more of Rowe’s explicit remarks about who he believes should be blamed. The outlets differ in how much direct language they reproduce and how they frame the broader dispute, while still describing the same sequence: Macklemore’s removal, associated withdrawals, and Rowe’s subsequent statements.
