The music guru loved his friend Elton John’s campaign urging Brits to get the COVID vaccine to help bring an end to the pandemic and urged Australians to do the same.“I mean it’s two old queens taking jabs at each other,” Meldrum joked. “I think Australians have been great during this whole pandemic, doing all the right things. When people start getting vaccines it means we can hopefully start getting back to full capacity at live gigs and sporting events. “I really miss seeing concerts and getting back to some of my favourite venues. It’s going to be a brilliant year for Australian music, because with no international bands coming here people can support local live performers. I can’t wait to see AFL and NRL games in Melbourne again this year. It’ll be great.”
