Ed Sheeran cancels his scheduled Sept. 25 and 26 concerts at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, after a nor’easter forecast for the region raises concerns about heavy rain and strong winds, according to multiple reports. Some outlets also say refunds are being offered for the cancelled shows.
The cancellations come amid wider controversy around Sheeran’s tour earlier this month, including fallout from the decision to remove Macklemore from the lineup. Outlets also reference tensions involving Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft and how the dispute affected associated performers. While the weather remains the direct reason for the cancellation, reporting differs on timing and emphasis—for example, whether announcements happen hours before showtime and how prominently the Macklemore-related drama is discussed alongside the storm.
