SYDNEY — Kanye West was admitted to an Australian hospital for an emergency MRI on Wednesday, Woman's Day magazine reported.

The 37-year-old entertainer was suffering a migraine when he was brought in to Epworth Hospital in Melbourne under high security.

A witness, Loraine Kelly, told the magazine she was with her daughter at the hospital who was undergoing an MRI scan, when West entered on a stretcher. She said the performer had part of his face covered as he was wheeled in through the back entrance of the hospital and patients were asked to leave.

“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," Kelly said.

"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."

West is in Australia for his Yeezus tour. He performed at the Rod Laver Arena that night after being released from hospital in the afternoon. The performer has three more shows in Australia in Sydney and Brisbane.

West's representative and the hospital have yet to comment on the incident.
