Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has issued a warning to Kanye West: Be vaccinated, or you can’t tour here.
Morrison’s mandate comes following a report that West has sought to stage a concert at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium in March, prior to his headlining gigs at Coachella the next month.
Following Australia’s deportation of Novak Djokovic after the unvaccinated tennis star’s visa application was denied prior to the Australia Open, Morrison issued a statement in response to whether he would allow West — whose own vaccination status is in question — to perform a concert in the country.
“The rules are you have to be fully vaccinated, they’re the rules,” Morrison said. “They apply to everybody as people have seen. It doesn’t matter who you are, they’re the rules. Follow the rules [and] you can come, if you don’t follow the rules you can’t.”
