The Wall Street Journal reported that Ed Sheeran and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft held a 40-minute phone call over the controversy.

Ed Sheeran is set to resume his tour Saturday — possibly solo — after all his supporting acts withdrew in solidarity with opener Macklemore, who was dropped after making pro-Palestinian comments onstage.
