The fate of Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour is suddenly uncertain after all of the British singer's remaining opening acts quit in solidarity with the rapper Macklemore, who was dropped from the remaining North American dates over pro-Palestinian comments.
Hours after Sheeran released a statement saying it was the promoter's decision to remove Macklemore from the tour and not his, the rest of his supporting acts — Irish singer Aaron Rowe, Danish pop band Lukas Graham and songwriter Finneas — as well as Sheeran's house band, Beoga, announced that they were pulling out in protest.
"Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed," Finneas, the brother of Billie Eilish, wrote in a note posted to Instagram. "I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates with Ed Sheeran. I stand with Palestine and its people."
The Irish artists cited their country's history of oppression in their decisions to drop out.
"I don't take the decision lightly. Ed has been a friend to me and has changed my life, I could never thank him enough for this," Rowe wrote in his own Instagram post. "But as Irish people we know all too well about genocide, forced famine and violent occupation. I cannot stand by and allow billionaires to use their position of power to silence the rightful voices of those who speak up against Israeli genocide and who highlight the savage murder of children."

Billie Eilish had a special role in her brother Finneas O'Connell's wedding to Claudia Sulewski. The newlyweds both wanted Eilish to stand beside them during the wedding ceremony. Instead, they found another important way to include her in their big day. Eilish officiated the couple's wedding ceremony in Montecito, California.
Sulewski shared details about the wedding in a YouTube video released Wednesday, Sept. 9. The first person they called when they began planning was Finneas' sister Billie, she said. Finneas wanted Eilish as his best man, while Sulewski wanted her as her maid of honor. "So we thought, 'Okay, sounds like she needs to marry us,' " Sulewski said.
Sulewski became emotional while talking about Eilish's role in the ceremony. "And truly, officiating our wedding was, like, the greatest gift she could ever give us," she said. Sulewski, 30, married O'Connell, 29, during an outdoor ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 29. The couple chose not to have bridesmaids or groomsmen because they wanted to "keep the experience intimate," according to Vogue.
Several well-known guests came to Montecito for the celebration. Justin and Hailey Bieber, Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, Jason Sudeikis, Nina Dobrev, Emma Chamberlain, Rachel Sennott, and Stassie Karanikolaou attended. Eilish's boyfriend, Nat Wolff, was also invited. Eilish performed "Birds of a Feather" during the reception.
Eilish also supported Sulewski before the wedding during her final dress fitting at Oscar de la Renta's Beverly Hills boutique. She joined Sulewski through FaceTime and reacted to the dress with excitement.

Jennifer Lawrence has done a lot in her career so far. She's been nominated for four Academy Awards (winning one), she's bared it all in movies without a double and survived some very public wardrobe malfunctions. One thing she's never done, however, is make a post on Instagram — until now! Lawrence has joined the wild world of social media, but it's not exactly a move she's confident about. In fact, she threatens to "quit immediately" in her first post, and fans have the best reactions.
Social media can be an unkind place, to put it lightly, and that's why many celebrities like Billie Eilish have bailed. Jennifer Lawrence decided to dip her toes in the water, sharing this hilarious warning as her very IG first post:
I love that she's just so matter-of-fact about it. I'm not too optimistic about Jennifer Lawrence's chances of keeping trolls out of her Instagram comments, but that's a problem for another day. In case she follows through on her threat and the video disappears, here is what J-Law said:

Did singer Billie Eilish lose $800,000 in belongings after leaving her Tribeca penthouse unlocked for three days to prove that "Mamdani's New York" is safe? No, that's not true: The rumor originated from a known trollery network that adds satire labels to each of its pages. No credible media organizations reported anything remotely similar to the online speculation about a robbery of the singer's supposed Tribeca penthouse.
The claim appeared in a post (archived here and here) on X where it was published by 333too3 on Sept. 1, 2026. It read:
Please be true..... Pop superstar Billie Eilish has reportedly 'lost approximately $800,000 in jewelry, electronics, and also custom clothing' after a 'social experiment' in which she 'left her Tribeca penthouse doors unlocked for 72 hours to prove that New York City is safe under Mayor Mamdani's policies.' The experiment, which Eilish documented on social media with posts like 'trust is the ultimate security' and 'Mamdani's New York has no room for fear,' ended when she returned from a 'meditation retreat upstate' to find her home 'completely emptied, including the refrigerator and also the light fixtures.'
This is what the image attached to the post looked like on X at the time of writing:

Finneas and Claudia Sulewski have officially made it down the aisle, turning nearly eight years together into a star-studded but very low-key ceremony.
Claudia and Finneas' love story has already lasted 8 years (@ Getty)
The Grammy-winning musician and producer and the actress, creator, and beauty entrepreneur said "I do" on Saturday, August 29, at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California. They had one very special person officiating it- his sister Billie Eilish.

Billie Eilish stood between her brother Finneas and Claudia Sulewski as they exchanged vows Saturday, taking on a considerably bigger wedding ****** ignment than simply showing up for the family photos.
Eilish officiated the Aug. 29 outdoor ceremony at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California, where Finneas and Sulewski married after nearly eight years together. Photos published by Page Six show the 24-year-old singer standing between the bride and groom as Finneas read his vows.
The couple's rescue dogs, Peaches and Moose, had jobs of their own. They joined the celebration as "flower dogs," wearing custom bows made from the same silk faille used for Sulewski's wedding gown. Finneas and Eilish's parents, Maggie Baird and Patrick O'Connell, were also there to watch their son get married.
The guest list included Justin and Hailey Bieber, Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, Emma Chamberlain, Rachel Sennott, Rebecca Black and Jason Sudeikis. Sulewski turned the weekend into a fashion project of its own with four custom Oscar de la Renta looks, while Finneas wore a black suit and Eilish chose an off-the-shoulder green dress for her role at the altar.
TMZ footage and photographs show her facing Finneas and Sulewski during the ceremony and confirm that Peaches and Moose were part of the celebration. The dogs' participation had been planned down to their outfits. During Sulewski's final fitting, Oscar de la Renta designer Grace McCoy revealed two silk faille bows cut from the same material as the ceremony gown. Sulewski explained that Moose would walk ahead of Peaches when the pair went down the aisle as flower dogs.

Billie Eilish is being mocked for officiating her brother's wedding on what she may refer to as "stolen land."
The singer, 24, hosted 29-year-old Finneas O'Connell's marriage to longtime girlfriend Claudia Sulewski, 30, at the luxurious San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif. Saturday.
But social media users were quick to point out the service took place on a region that once belonged to Native Americans.
Eilish caught heat at the Grammys in February after claiming "no one is illegal on stolen land" during an anti-ICE tirade.
Earlier this year, Billie Eilish declared "no one is illegal on stolen land" during her Grammys acceptance speech. Getty Images

Billie Eilish looked worlds away from her usual edgy style as she stepped onto the set of The Bell Jar in Toronto on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old singer was almost unrecognizable while filming the highly anticipated adaptation of Sylvia Plath's iconic novel, embracing a dramatic 1950s transformation for her first major acting role.
Ditching the oversized T-shirts and baggy trousers that have become synonymous with her personal style, Billie slipped into a navy blue ******* on-front dress layered with a striped cropped jacket and matching pillbox-style hat.
Her vintage-inspired look was completed with softly curled brunette hair, bold red lipstick and pearl earrings as she filmed scenes as Esther Greenwood, the novel's troubled 19-year-old protagonist.

Scotland Eilish McColgan is giving herself "every opportunity" to defend her Commonwealth Games 10,000m **** le in her home country on Monday as she recovers from a foot fracture, says mother and coach Liz.
McColgan, 35, emulated her mum by roaring to gold in Birmingham four years ago in one of the most iconic moment of that event.
In an injury-scarred spell since then, she has transitioned to road racing but has committed to returning to the track so she can compete at a second home Games in Glasgow after doing the steeplechase in 2014.
However, battling through a gruesome toe injury in April's London Marathon led to an undetected stress fracture, which has cast McColgan's participation in Monday's historic mile event at Scotstoun in serious doubt.
Scotland win three medals in 45 minutes to kick-start Glasgow 2026

It is an event that has been going for 96 years.
The Commonwealth Games have provided iconic sporting moments – from Roger Bannister's win in the 'Miracle Mile' of 1954 and Eilish McColgan breaking her mum's record in 2022 to England's netball victory four years earlier in Australia.
But the 2026 Games, which open in Glasgow on Thursday, come at an intriguing time for the event. Many doubted whether they would even happen - and when they do go ahead, they will do so in a stripped-back form.
So how did we get here? And do athletes and fans still care and what could the future hold?
The 2026 Commonwealth Games were thrown into doubt when its original hosts, the Australian state of Victoria, pulled out in 2023 citing spiraling costs. That decision took even the leaders of Commonwealth Sport by surprise.
