Javier Bardem shared a petition calling for Pink to be removed from her role as a UNICEF ambassador because of her reaction to Macklemore's pro-Palestinian statements. Pink has served as an ambassador for UNICEF since the year 2015. The petition against Pink was launched on September 11 by the group named Swifties Against Genocide, and it has now passed 179,000 signatures.
During his concerts held on September 4 and September 5, Macklemore used the words Free Palestine prior to performing the song Hind's Hall. Pink then shared an Instagram post from the group StopAntisemitism that criticized Macklemore's concert performance. Regarding this publication, Pink explicitly stated that she did not agree with all of the statements included in the post that she had shared.
Macklemore was subsequently removed from the lineup for all remaining concerts of the tour. Following the removal of Macklemore from the lineup, Ed Sheeran's orchestra and all of the other supporting acts also chose to leave the tour. Macklemore pledged to donate the entirety of his 1 million dollar earnings from the tour to six organizations that provide support to Palestinians.
