Coronavirus: Australia says Kanye West must be vaccinated before any concert tour
- The warning comes just two weeks after tennis star Novak Djokovic’s visa was cancelled over Covid-19 rules and his unvaccinated status
- Reports have indicated West plans to play stadium concerts in Australia in March
Hip-hop artist Kanye West will have to be fully vaccinated if he wants to play concerts in Australia, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Saturday, after media said the performer planned an Australian tour in March.
“The rules are you have to be fully vaccinated,” Morrison told a news conference.
“They apply to everybody, as people have seen most recently. It doesn’t matter who you are, they are the rules. Follow the rules – you can come. You don’t follow the rules, you can’t.”
