Ed Sheeran's two weekend concerts at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, have been canceled because of severe weather warnings across the region.

Venue officials said the Friday and Saturday shows were called off with fan and staff safety as the top priority.

Ticketmaster will automatically refund all ticket holders, according to a statement posted on the stadium's website.

Nor'easter Brings Flooding and High Winds

Forecast details from The Weather Channel point to a dangerous nor'easter expected to sweep from North Carolina up to New England over the weekend.

The system is projected to bring high surf, coastal flooding, heavy rainfall, and strong winds to the area.

Meteorologists warned that wind gusts could reach up to 60 mph alongside heavy downpours.

Those conditions raise significant risks of flash flooding throughout the Boston metropolitan area.

Gillette Stadium said the decision was made with the safety of fans, staff, and everyone involved in the shows as the top priority.

The cancellations come after recent headlines surrounding Sheeran's tour, following the removal of rapper Macklemore from the lineup.

Macklemore said he was dropped shortly after making pro-Palestinian remarks during a performance at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Sheeran clarified that the tour promoter ultimately made the decision to remove Macklemore from the schedule.
