It’s not just Ed, There are so many other people tied to the tour and they need money. Sound guys, lights, security, electricity, networks/communications, scene builders, fixtures, etc. Probably far more than most of us realise.
If Ed decides to cancel the entire tour over it. I’m sure he would be fine. But maybe not everyone else. I still think it’s cowardly to not even try to stand up for your fellow artist. But I can understand if he feels responsible for everyone that relies on the tour to bring home money to their families.

He’s worth a few hundred million dollars, I think he could afford to pay this out of his own pocket if he wanted to.
I think you’re vastly underestimating just how many people are required to conduct an entire tour
