Rapper Macklemore has opened his Free Palestine tour with a sold-out show at Dublin's 3Arena, just weeks after being dropped as the support act on Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour. He was removed in September after saying "Free Palestine" on stage, with Sheeran's promoter blaming pressure from venues. Macklemore says all proceeds will go to Palestinian causes, with Paris and London shows following later this week.
