Australian rock icon John Farnham is not impressed with the coronavirus protestors who are marching to a legendary tune of his.
The manager of Farnham has hit out at the protestors who performed a rendition of the star’s You’re the Voice at Melbourne Chadwick Shopping Centre on Sunday afternoon.
About 50 people gathered in front of a pharmacy to perform it and it has become a common tune protestors play as the stage 4 restrictions press on.
However, Farnham and his manager have distanced themselves from the protests, and spoken out in a short statement.
Speaking to 7NEWS, manager Glenn Wheatley said John vehemently disagreed to the use of his song in a public protest during the lockdown.
“It’s very offensive to John and I that they choose to use You’re the Voice as the theme of this protest,” he said.
Anti-lockdown protesters have now rallied for three consecutive weekends despite continued pleas not to do so.
Hundreds of people gathered at the Shrine of Remembrance on the first Saturday of September.
Hundreds more met at Queen Victoria Market the following Sunday.
Every protest has had a heavy police presence and resulted in COVID fines and arrests.
Melbourne however has recorded 11 new cases of COVID-19 and two deaths. For the first time in several months, the state is on track to begin easing restrictions next week.
