21 Sep
Summary
- SNL UK sketch featured an AI bot named DIANA.
- Ed Sheeran was humorously depicted as neutral on conflicts.
- Supporting acts dropped off Sheeran's tour due to controversy.
Saturday Night Live UK's second season premiere featured a satirical sketch focusing on Ed Sheeran's recent controversies. The skit humorously portrayed Sheeran as an indecisive character unable to take sides in conflicts, even relating it to his tour.
The show's "Weekend Update" segment also targeted Sheeran, jesting about the impact of the situation on his fans. This commentary comes after several artists, including Macklemore, Finneas, Lukas Graham, and Aaron Row, withdrew from Sheeran's Loop Tour.
These withdrawals followed criticism from pro-Israel groups regarding Macklemore's support for Gaza and Palestine at recent concerts. Sheeran has continued his tour, addressing the controversy by stating his concerts are a safe space and he aims to avoid disappointing fans.
