Classic Hits Radio Drops Ed Sheeran From Playlist
The station said it acted after listener feedback and the exits of Irish artists from Sheeran’s tour, and will keep the decision under review.
- On Thursday, Classic Hits Radio announced it is removing Ed Sheeran's music from its playlist for the 'foreseeable future' following listener feedback about his tour controversy.
- Macklemore's removal from Sheeran's Loop Tour followed pro-Palestine comments he made at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey earlier this month, triggering public backlash and artist withdrawals.
- In solidarity with Macklemore, supporting acts Aaron Rowe and Beoga withdrew from remaining tour dates, while Macklemore donated his $1 million tour earnings to Palestinian charities.
- Dave Kelly, Group Programme Director at Bay Broadcasting, stated the decision is 'not intended as a personal judgement on Ed Sheeran,' emphasizing support for Irish artists' convictions.
- Sheeran has maintained that promoters, not him, decided to drop Macklemore from the tour, while Classic Hits Radio confirmed the ban remains 'under review' as developments unfold.
