LONDON, Oct 1 — US rapper Macklemore said he is “blown away” after tickets for all three shows for his upcoming Free Palestine tour “sold out immediately,” reported PA Media/dpa.
The 43-year-old, real name Benjamin Haggerty, announced the concerts in London, Paris and Dublin earlier this month after he was dropped from Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour over comments he made about Gaza.
Since then, all Sheeran’s Loop Tour supporting acts, including Irish singer Aaron Rowe, Grammy Award-winning musician Finneas, who is Billie Eilish’s brother, and Danish singer Lukas Graham, as well as his backing band Beoga, have dropped out of the remaining dates.
Macklemore took to Instagram yesterday, shortly after tickets went on sale for the upcoming gigs, which will bring together artists and friends to help provide humanitarian aid and support for people in Palestine.
