Breaking News: Kanye West Rushed to Hospital in Australia.

Kanye West was rushed to an Australian hospital for
an emergency MRI yesterday and that’s according to
a new report on Woman’s Day magazine.

A witness, Loraine Kelly, told the magazine she saw
the 37-year-old entertainer being brought in to
Melbourne’s Epworth Hospital in Richmond for an
emergency MRI just after 2pm on Wednesday. The
37-year-old had one side of his face covered as he
was rushed through the back entrance, surrounded
by high security.

Nurses were forced to ask patients to move out of
the waiting room and consulting rooms so Kanye,
who is in Australia for his high-energy Yeezus tour,
could be treated privately. Loraine Terry was at
the hospital with her daughter when Kanye was
stretchered in by paramedics.

“My daughter was having an MRI. Shortly after it
began, security burst in and cleared the area,” she
tells Woman’s Day exclusively. “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.”

Loraine says doctors were concerned the artist had
suffered a seizure or was about to and requested an
urgent MRI.

“Everyone was massively panicked,” she adds. “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 were not even properly finished.”

Though the cause of his illness remains unknown,
Woman’s Day understands Kim Kardashian, who is in
the country to support her husband on his Yeezus
tour, was not by his side. Despite his scare, Kanye
later performed to a packed crowed at Rod Laver
Arena following his release from hospital sometime
after 4.30pm.
