Oh no!
Just before his concert in Melbourne, Australia on Wednesday night, Kanye West had one heck of a health scare!
Apparently suffering a severe migraine, the Blood On The Leaves rapper was reportedly rushed to Epworth Hospital for an emergency MRI.
According to eyewitness Loraine Terry, the situation was intense– and not just for Kanye. She said:
“My daughter was having an MRI. Shortly after it began, security burst in and cleared the area. Everyone was moved out of the waiting and consulting rooms. We were the only ones left apart from doctors and nurses – we couldn’t leave as the MRI wasn’t finished.
Next thing we knew, Kanye was stretchered in surrounded by security. He had one side of his face covered with something white. We both knew it was him because we had seen his photo in the paper everyday and we were shocked because it looked so serious.
Everyone was massively panicked. And they were very nervous about making sure the area was completely clear. At one stage, one of his security men saw my daughter, who was lying on the MRI machine, turn her head and he insisted she had to go. We weren’t even properly finished.”
Eesh! We hope Kanye was OK, but did all the other patients really need to be pushed out the door? What if they had serious issues too?
Hospital spokeswoman Colleen Coghlan would not discuss Kanye’s condition, but did deny that other patients were rushed out for him. She said:
“Yesterday afternoon we had 50 people in our emergency department. All were treated with respect and according to the severity of their symptoms”
We don’t yet know the results of Kanye’s test, but the good news is he was feeling well enough to perform as scheduled.
We hope it ends up just being a false alarm.
