Macklemore to donate nearly $1 million from Ed Sheeran shows to Palestinian aid groups

In a post on Instagram, the rapper says he plans to donate one million dollars to six different organisations.

"Given everything that has happened in the last 48 hours, I want to lead the discussion back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people," Macklemore writes.

Macklemore was fired after, during his gigs as the opening act for Sheeran's concerts in New Jersey on September 4-5, shouting "Free Palestine" and performing his song "Hind's Hall", whose lyrics describe Israel's war in Gaza as genocide.
