I will not be opening for Ed Sheeran on his tour

This was not an easy decision for me. It might cost me relationships but I have to stand up for what’s right. That, and I was never invited. But mostly the first thing!!

I have stepped out of the tour as well.

  • Me neither, I can’t just stand by and do nothing, so that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I will not be opening for Ed Sheeran either.

    If you're surprised by my announcement, you clearly haven't been following my music career very closely.

    Thank you for your service 🫡

    I really appreciate you - values are not values if one isn’t ready to lose something for defending them.

    I have doubled the money Ed was going to pay you and given it to a children’s hospital and I encourage others to join.

    I thought I was a weird choice to open for him, given I give psychology lectures for a living, but I made the decision not to open for Ed Sheeran following the silencing of Macklemore by zionist lobbies.

    I am a traditional lecturer who never saw myself presenting to stadiums of that size and that opportunity is not lost on me. I have not been friends with Ed for over 10 years and will continue not to be. I believe in dialogue as a means of processing the plight of the Palestinian people.

    Wow, and you're not even denouncing Aum Shinrikyo's subway sarin gas attack. Way to tell on yourself, buddy!

    I really didn't think you had it in you. I'm glad you proved me wrong. So proud!

    Brave person! I feel inspired... I too have decided not to open for Ed.

    I think that's a difficult position to take. I'm proud of you for taking it.

    how does the rest of the band feel?

    Screw all of you. I could use the money. I'll open for ed.

    ::: spoiler I'll spend my time talking about that genocide. Maybe make a slide show, and throw in references to the stadium owner's involvement with Epstein. :::

    Fucking Ed Sheeran can open his own beans! I won't be opening for him!

    I also will not be touring with him. Because I can neither sing nor dance.

    Fuck Israel.

  • source
  • I, too, will be taking my distance from him.

    We were gonna jump into Valheim 1.0 together but I cannot in good conscience build sick bases and kill monsters with him.

    I hope everyone joins us.

    this might be a controversial statement to make here, but I'm not afraid BC its the right thing to do:

    I am against killing.

    The better question is why wouldn't Ed Sheeran invite the Dairy King?

    Yeah.. so sorry Ed.. I probably should just leave a message for him on my voicemail saying I'll be unavailable.

    I have to wax, uhhhh.. the lawn.

    I also have no stage worthy talents what so ever, so nobody but me should benefit from that!
