Ed Sheeran’s concerts scheduled for Friday and Saturday in Massachusetts have been canceled due to severe weather warnings. The performances were to take place at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, near Boston, as part of Sheeran’s US tour. This tour has been notable for controversy after Macklemore, Sheeran’s support act, was dropped for making pro-Palestinian comments on stage. Stadium owners, including Robert Kraft of Gillette Stadium, advocated for Macklemore’s removal. A statement from the venue explained that the decision to cancel was made after consulting local officials, prioritizing the safety of fans and staff. Refunds are available at the point of purchase, and those who bought tickets through Ticketmaster will receive automatic refunds.
