Ed Sheeran has problems with his tour – level 1
23-09-2026 07:00
Singer Ed Sheeran has a big problem on his tour in the US. His guest singer, Macklemore, speaks about Palestine on stage. The stadium owner gets angry. He asks Sheeran to drop Macklemore from the show.
Sheeran does it. He wants to keep his tour going. After this, all the other guest singers quit the tour. They think that artists must speak freely on stage. At his next big show in Philadelphia, Sheeran plays alone, only with his guitar.
Sheeran says sorry to his fans for making mistakes. He calls the war in Gaza terrible. He will finish all his concerts alone.
Difficult words: guest singer (a singer who sings before the main singer), stage (a floor up high where an actor or singer performs in front of people), mistake (a wrong action).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
Why did all the other guest singers quit the tour?
