Story summary

Ed Sheeran canceled concerts scheduled for this Friday and Saturday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, due to an approaching nor'easter. The severe weather warnings prompted the decision, prioritizing fan safety. Refunds are being processed automatically through Ticketmaster.

The cancellations follow weeks of controversy after Macklemore was dropped from Sheeran's tour for voicing support for Palestinians during a New Jersey show. Robert Kraft, Gillette Stadium’s billionaire owner and staunch supporter of Israel, reportedly pressured Sheeran to remove Macklemore, leading to further complications in the tour.

Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell has intervened due to nearly 200 people struggling to obtain refunds from Ticketmaster over issues unrelated to the weather. The controversy has overshadowed the concert cancellations but hasn't affected the decision based on safety concerns.
