Ken Casey Slams Ed Sheeran Over 'Took the Knee' Moment on Macklemore Tour
Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey criticized Ed Sheeran for taking a knee on stage with Macklemore during The Loop Tour, saying touring partners should be treated like family and that Sheeran’s stance didn’t sit right with him. Macklemore was removed from the tour amid pro-Palestinian remarks and Gaza-war criticism, with reports of promoter pressure and possible involvement from Robert Kraft; Sheeran’s team said the decision came from the promoter. Macklemore pledged up to $1 million to Palestinian aid and Kraft was reportedly asked to match.
