Ed Sheeran has issued a statement following the removal of US rapper Macklemore as his tour support act, saying there is a reason he does not use his professional platform for politics.

US rapper Macklemore has claimed he's been removed as Ed Sheeran's tour opener after saying "Free Palestine" during a gig.

'Taking a side can cost you. Money, brand deals, sponsorships, festivals, private shows, relationships and access. I've lost all of those things,' Macklemore wrote.
