Kanye West has been blocked from travelling to the UK to perform at a London festival.

The rapper made an application to travel to the country on Monday via an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), but the Home Office stopped him on the grounds that his presence in the UK would “not be conducive to the public good”, the Press Association understands.
