Well after hearing all this, that changed my mind. Thanks for the explainers all!

I cannot honestly blame Ed Sheeran for what happened in that case. It might have been a better look for Ed if he canceled those venues himself, but then he would have pissed off the fans. No winning for him either way in this situation.

I want to understand something: was it Ed Sheeran himself, his management or the places in USA where he was to perform who kicked out Macklemore?

When you start being a b**** to everyone around you, eventually people start walking.

As a European, I would welcome Canada in!
