Macklemore concludes Free Palestine tour with sold out London performance

American rapper Macklemore concluded his Free Palestine tour with a sold-out performance in London, Al Jazeera and Middle East Eye reported. The tour brought together artists and activists to demand an end to suffering in Gaza. [1][2]

Before playing in London, the tour made a stop in Paris where Macklemore and Norwegian singer Aurora called for solidarity, according to NME. The London Evening Standard reported that Macklemore delivered a pro-Palestine message at Wembley Stadium, while Metro.co.uk reported that the rapper publicly called out 50 members of the House of Lords who attempted to halt his London concert. Musician Zeyne also offered thanks to Macklemore for organizing the tour, Arab News reported. [3][4][5][6]

Macklemore, whose real name is Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, is an independent artist from Seattle, Washington. As FTMQ News reported earlier, his charity tour began at Dublin's 3Arena with proceeds dedicated to organisations supporting Palestinians, following his removal from Ed Sheeran's tour after making on-stage pro-Palestinian remarks.
