Two upcoming Ed Sheeran concerts set to be held at billionaire Robert Kraft’s Gillette Stadium have been canceled over inclement weather fears, adding to a rough tour for Sheeran who has become the center of a political firestorm after Macklemore was dropped as an opener for his onstage remarks in support of Palestinians.

Key Facts
Concert promotion company Messina Touring confirmed on Instagram Friday morning the shows, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, will be canceled due to “severe weather warnings in place in Boston and across New England throughout the weekend.”
Refunds will automatically be issued for those who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster, the post says.
The concerts were booked at Gillette Stadium, the Massachusetts venue owned by Kraft, who previously barred Macklemore from performing as Sheeran’s opening act, citing his “recent actions, material shared from the stage during Ed Sheeran’s shows in New Jersey, and a broader history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery.”
