Rapper Travis Scott says in an interview that he didn’t know that fans had died at his Astroworld festival in Houston until after his performance. Ten people died when the crowd rushed the stage during Scott's Nov. 5 performance at the festival.
. Scott, concert promoter Live Nation and other companies associated with the event are among those being sued. Additionally, Scott and the event organizers are the focus of a criminal investigation by Houston police. No one has been charged, and no timetable has been set for when the investigation would be completed.

I just wanted to make sure they knew that I was there for them and continue to be there for them.”
