Kanye West required to be vaccinated to play Australia leg of tour

"The rules are you have to be fully vaccinated," Morrison told a news conference, according to Reuters.

Morrison’s message to the artist comes just weeks after tennis star Novak Djokovic was unable to compete in the country's Grand Slam tournament after the government canceled his visa due to his vaccination status.

"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," said Morrison.

Morrison’s remarks came the day after the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reported that West would be performing at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium sometime in March.

The vaccination status of West is currently unknown.

"In a 2021 interview on social media he said he had received one vaccine dose, but in a 2020 interview with business magazine Forbes, he had called getting vaccinated 'the mark of the beast,'" Reuters reported.
