Story summary

Country singer Zach Bryan wore a "Free Palestine" shirt during his concert at Gillette Stadium near Boston on Friday night, one month after stadium owner Robert Kraft banned rapper Macklemore from performing there due to pro-Palestinian comments. The shirt read "FREE PALESTINE" and included the phrase "AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN" with a pine tree logo, referencing an American Revolutionary-era slogan. Bryan's guitarist Noah Le Gros also wore a green Palestine soccer jersey during the show, while drummer Nate Head donned a white-and-tan striped jersey honoring 5-year-old Hind Rajab, who was killed in Gaza. This incident occurred amid controversy over Macklemore’s removal from Ed Sheeran’s tour after he supported Palestinians at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
