纽约——纽约（美联社）—麦克拉莫（Macklemore）周一表示，由于艾德·希兰（Ed Sheeran）本月早些时候在新泽西州大都会人寿体育场（MetLife Stadium）舞台上发表了支持巴勒斯坦的言论，他已被艾德·希兰的巡演除名。
Macklemore在Instagram上表示，美国多个场地已告知主办方，将禁止他作为Sheeran的开场表演嘉宾在Loop巡演中登台。
他写道，因此，希兰的团队决定让他退出巡演。尽管这位说唱歌手——以热门单曲《Thrift Shop》和同性婚姻主题歌曲《Same Love》而广为人知——多年来一直就巴勒斯坦人的困境发表类似言论。
“那么，为什么现在这成了一个问题呢？因为我要和世界上最大的艺术家之一，在美国一些最大的体育场同台演出，”麦克勒莫写道，“在某种程度的曝光下，‘解放巴勒斯坦’就变得风险太大了。”
越来越多的组织和专家表示，以色列在加沙的战时行动构成了种族灭绝——而以色列则对此指控予以了强烈驳斥。
希兰本人尚未发表评论，其经纪人也没有立即回复请求置评的电子邮件。
主办方Messina Touring Group在向《滚石》杂志发表的一份声明中证实，场地方已通知他们“他们将不允许Macklemore参加阵容中的音乐会，这将导致巡演取消，并影响数十万粉丝。”
场馆中包括美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）新英格兰爱国者队的主场吉列体育场。球场所有者罗伯特·克拉夫特表示，取消Macklemore的演出是因为他最近的言论“以及他长期以来发表的反犹太言论和形象，我们认为这些言论和形象对犹太社区极具冒犯性和伤害性”
“这一决定并非旨在减轻无辜巴勒斯坦人的痛苦，也不是要剥夺任何人代表他们发声的权利。他们的痛苦和损失是真实存在的，”克拉夫特周一在一份声明中表示。
马克莱莫尔的支持“不应以牺牲犹太社区为代价，也不应掩盖哈马斯的责任，”卡夫表示。
这位说唱歌手本名本杰明·哈蒙德·哈格蒂，出生于华盛顿州。在9月5日的巡演中，他在介绍自己的抗议歌曲《辛德的大厅》时高呼“解放巴勒斯坦”。这首歌创作于2024年支持巴勒斯坦人的校园抗议活动之后，以五岁的巴勒斯坦女孩辛德·拉贾布的名字命名，她在加沙城，因以色列军队向其家人的汽车开火而丧生。
“对于我所有的犹太兄弟姐妹们，对以色列的批评、对种族隔离的批评、反对种族灭绝，这绝非对你们的批评，”他在新泽西的音乐会上说道，“这条信息是为了和平、爱，为了所有人都能得到尊严、尊重和平等的对待。”
他的言论引来了同为歌手的平克的批评，而平克本人随后也遭到了强烈反对。
Macklemore表示，他对Sheeran并无恶意，反而视其为朋友。
“但正如我在电话里多次告诉埃德（Ed）的那样，我们的友谊不能改变我讲出事情真相的责任，”麦克莱莫尔（Macklemore）写道。
“The Loop Tour”巡演计划在多个场馆举行，包括费城的林肯金融体育场、佐治亚州亚特兰大的梅赛德斯-奔驰体育场、印第安纳波利斯的卢卡斯石油体育场、北卡罗来纳州夏洛特的美国银行体育场、德克萨斯州阿灵顿的AT＆T体育场，以及佛罗里达州坦帕的雷蒙德·詹姆斯体育场。
Macklemore is dropped from Ed Sheeran＇s tour over pro-Palestinian comments onstage
NEW YORK --NEW YORK （AP） —Macklemoresaid Monday that he has been dropped fromEd Sheeran＇s tour over pro-Palestinian comments made by the Grammy-winning rapper earlier this month onstage at New Jersey＇s MetLife Stadium．
Macklemore said on Instagram that several U．S． venues told the promoter they would prohibit him from performing as Sheeran＇s opening act for the Loop tour．
As a result， he wrote， Sheeran＇s team decided to remove him from the tour． That＇s despite the fact that the rapper — best known for his breakout hit “Thrift Shop” and the same-sex marriage anthem “Same Love” — has been making similar comments about the plight of Palestinians for years．
“So why is it an issue now？ Because I’m sharing a stage with one of the biggest artists in the world， in some of the biggest stadiums in America，” Macklemore wrote． “At a certain level of exposure， ‘Free Palestine’ becomes too much of a risk．”
Agrowing chorusof organizations andexpertssay Israel’s wartime actionsin Gazaamount togenocide— an accusation Israel vehemently rejects．
Sheeran has not commented and representatives for the singer did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment．
The promoter， Messina Touring Group， confirmed in a statement to Rolling Stone that it had been notified by venues that “they will not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the lineup， which would result in the cancellation of the tour and impact hundreds of thousands of fans．”
Among the venues is Gillette Stadium， home to the NFL＇s New England Patriots． Owner Robert Kraft said the decision to cancel Macklemore was a result of his recent comments “and a broader history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery that we believe has been deeply offensive and hurtful to the Jewish community．”
“This decision is not about diminishing the suffering of innocent Palestinians or denying anyone the right to advocate on their behalf． Their pain and loss are real，” Kraft said in a statement Monday．
Macklemore’s advocacy “should not come at the expense of the Jewish community or obscure the responsibility of Hamas，” Kraft said．
The rapper， born Benjamin Hammond Haggerty in Washington state， exclaimed “Free Palestine” during the Sept． 5 date of the tour while introducing his protest song “Hind’s Hall．” Written following the 2024 campus protests in support of Palestinians， it＇s named for Hind Rajab， a5-year-old Palestinian girlwho was killed after Israeli forces fired on her family’s car in Gaza City．
“To all of my Jewish brothers and sisters， criticism of Israel， criticism of apartheid， being against genocide， it in no way is criticism of you，” he said during the New Jersey concert． “This message is for peace， love， for all human beings to be treated with dignity， respect， and equality．”
His comments drew criticism from fellow singer Pink， who herself then drew backlash．
Macklemore said he holds no ill will toward Sheeran， who he considers a friend．
“But as I told Ed multiple times on the phone， our friendship can’t change my responsibility to tell the truth about what happened，” Macklemore wrote．
The Loop Tour is scheduled to appear in venues including Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia； Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta， Georgia； Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis； Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte， North Carolina； AT＆T Stadium in Arlington， Texas； and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa， Florida．
