Ed Sheeran cuts B stage from Philadelphia show, fearing thrown objects after Macklemore fallout

Ed Sheeran dropped the B stage from his Loop Tour show at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday, telling the crowd he was afraid of having things thrown at him. It was his first concert since cutting Macklemore as an opener over the rapper's onstage "Free Palestine" remarks; his backing band and openers Fikas, Lukas Graham and Aaron Rowe then quit in solidarity, forcing an 8 p.m. start with no support acts. Sheeran broke down in tears while addressing the drama.
