The bottom line here is that his 1st amendment rights were not violated. The 1st amendment only protects you from prosecution by the GOVERNMENT for political speech.
The government did not remove him from the stage. Event staff asked him to move on after he started his screed. He didn't and he was removed. He was paid to perform, that's it.
It's not like he was at the White House and the Secret Service hauled him off. He was at a music hall and the event staff removed him as was their right
He can say what he wants about the government, it's his right. But, he's only protected from prosecution by the government. That protection does not extend to music halls. If the management wants him to go, he has no 1st amendment protection. He may have legal recourse against the venue, but that's another matter.
There are a number of countries where this man would never be seen again. If it was Russia, he'd find himself in a Gulag in Siberia. If he was in Iran, he'd vanish.
In this case he got booted off stage, and that will be the end of it. Hell, he got a lot of free press. His supporters will continue to support him, and that will be that.
It really is that simple
