The two of them shared a statement on social media, overtly supporting fellow artists who use their platform to draw attention to the situation in Gaza, and insisting that doing so should not jeopardise their careers.
“With 290,000 kids intentionally being starved to death right now in Gaza, they’re going after the ARTISTS that are saying ‘This is wrong’,” it began. “In a desperate attempt, they aim to villainise & silence musicians by cancelling shows, pulling them from festival line ups and warning others- this is what happens when you speak up.”
It continued: “Artists and humans that regardless of the consequences, prioritise collective liberation over self-preservation, and use their platform to reach hearts. Not on some hero shit. Not on some saviour shit. But simply as people with compassion, love and empathy watching a genocide and refusing to be silent.
“Standing up against that shouldn’t have to be brave. It shouldn’t put anyone’s career at risk. It shouldn’t get anyone’s show cancelled. It should be considered what it is… Human.”
The post was shared by Macklemore on Instagram last night (May 7), while Shirley Manson also shared the post along with a caption that went into further depth about her stance.
