All of the remaining support acts on Ed Sheeran's US tour have quit, after the rapper Macklemore was dropped from the line-up for making pro-Palestinian remarks on stage.
Among them were Finneas, the brother of pop star Billie Eilish, who said in a statement: "Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed."
Rowe, who opened on the Australian leg of the tour earlier this year and resumed as a support act for the US in June, said that he did not "take the decision [to quit] lightly," adding: "Ed has been a friend to me and has changed my life, I could never thank him enough for this."
