Oh, Ed. Ed, Ed, Edward, Eddington. What have you done, fool?

Now if you play alone you'll be saying that genocide is ok, AND you've be knelt down to the billionaires.

If you get another backing band/openers then you'll be saying genocide is ok, AND you'll be actively helping the billionaires.

But if you now pull out of your own tour you'll be seen as you didn't want to pull out but were forced to by all the bad publicity about the genocide that you weren't bothered about in the first place.

Oh, Ed, you've painted yourself into a corner, you dumb fucking cunt. All you had to do was have a little bit of spine, but that was just too much to ask of you.

    Right? As soon as they threatened it he had all the leverage in the world. He would have all the positive press of saying he was being forced to cancel because of them, and showed solidarity with his fellow musicians. Could have even offered additional concerts in friendlier areas, promoting other cities and getting more dollars there.

    Instead he fucked himself. The only way to semi crawl back is to admit his mistake and stand in solidarity, that's the only move I see, and even then as you said he won't look strong but like a coward.
