Today's riddle: What do an island and the letter "t" have in common? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Ed Sheeran's fans back singer after controversy over Macklemore, Palestinians (ksl.com) — Ed Sheeran's current tour controversy directly affects his Sept. 25–26 shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, where Robert Kraft has barred Macklemore from performing. Fans in Philadelphia largely stood by Sheeran despite backlash over Macklemore's pro-Palestinian remarks, while protests and artist withdrawals continue to swirl around the tour's remaining dates.
• Melissa Barrera Praises Support for Macklemore Amid Ed Sheeran Tour Drama: 'Didn't Happen for Me' (usmagazine.com) — Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour is still scheduled to hit Gillette Stadium in Foxborough on Sept. 25 and 26, even as controversy over dropping Macklemore for his pro-Palestinian stance intensifies. Actress Melissa Barrera criticizes Sheeran for not standing by Macklemore, arguing powerful artists should better defend free speech and noting the strong public support he's now receiving.
• Macklemore's $1M pledge brings relief to ongoing suffering (wbaltv.com) — Macklemore's $1 million pledge to Palestinian aid groups, made after he was dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour, is drawing praise and sparking matching donations, including from children's entertainer Ms. Rachel. The story also notes Robert Kraft, owner of Gillette Stadium in Foxborough where Sheeran is set to perform, has promised to match Sheeran's separate $2 million regional aid gift.
