Travis Scott Opens Up About ‘Devastating’ Astroworld Tragedy
Two years after his performance at Houston’s Astroworld Festival turned into a deadly crowd crush that killed 10 people and injured hundreds more, rapper Travis Scott has made some rare comments about the tragedy.
In a GQ Man of the Year cover story published on Wednesday, Scott discusses the fallout of the devastating 2021 concert. Footage from the festival showed Scott continuing to perform even after he appeared to see that a fan had passed out, and hundreds of lawsuits were subsequently filed against him and Astroworld organizers. Earlier this year, it was reported that the rapper will not face criminal charges.
Scott told GQ he thought about the Astroworld disaster while making his latest album, Utopia, particularly on the song “My Eyes.”
