Eight dead, several injured at Travis Scott’s ‘Astroworld’ music festival

In Houston, Texas over the weekend, chaos erupted as rapper Travis Scott played to a crowd of over 50,000 people. Hundreds of concert goers were caught in a stampede as Scott hit the stage and despite numerous pleas to security to stop the show, the set continued as planned. After the show, the Houston native took to Instagram, saying, “”I just want to send out prayers to the ones that was lost last night…We’re actually working right now to identify the families so we can help assist them through this tough time. My fans really mean the world to me, and I always just want to leave them with a positive experience, and anytime I can make out anything that’s going on — stop the show and help them get the help they need…I just could never imagine the severity of the situation.”

Brian, Ali, & Justin are devastated by this tragedy. Our deepest sympathies are expressed to the families involved.
