"Certainly neither Travis Scott nor his handlers, entourage managers, agents, hangers on promoters, organizers or sponsors cared enough about Axel to make even minimal effort to keep him and the others at the concert safe," Buzbee said in a press conference with the family Monday. Texas attorney Thomas J. Henry also filed a lawsuit against Scott and Drake, as well as Live Nation and NRG Stadium, on behalf of one of the surviving victims following Friday night's tragedy.
Kherkher Garcia, LLP has also filed a lawsuit against event organizers and Scott on behalf of an attendee who the firm said"suffered serious bodily injuries when the uncontrolled crowd at the concert knocked him to the ground and trampled him.""He and those who promoted and supported this concert must take responsibility for their heinous actions," Kherkher Garcia, LLP said in a statement to ABC News.
Scott announced he will cover the funeral costs and further aid to individuals affected by the tragedy and will refund all of the Astroworld concertgoers and ticket holders. He has also said he is cooperating with investigators."I want to make it clear we weren't aware of any fatalities until the news came out after the show and in no world would have continued filming or performing," Jenner wrote in her post..
Abrams, when asked on Good Morning America about what stands out to him the most about this tragedy, said any of Scott's actions and comments at the concert could affect these cases.
