Scott’s concert began at 9:02 p.m. In their review of video from the concert’s livestream, police investigators said that at 9:13 p.m., they heard the faint sound of someone saying, “Stop the show.” The same request could also be heard at 9:16 p.m. and 9:22 p.m.In an Aug. 19, 2022, police interview, Boardman’s attorneys told investigators that Boardman “saw things were not as bad as Reece Wheeler stated” and decided not to pass along Wheeler’s concerns to anyone else.
During a police interview conducted two days after the concert, Scott told investigators that although he did see one person near the stage getting medical attention, overall, the crowd seemed to be enjoying the show and he did not see any signs of serious problems.“We asked if he at any point heard the crowd telling him to stop the show. He stated that if he had heard something like that, he would have done something,” police said in their summary of Scott’s interview.
Marty Wallgren, who worked for a security consulting firm hired by the festival, told police that when he went backstage and tried to tell representatives for Scott and Drake that the concert needed to end because people had been hurt and might have died, he was told “Drake still has three more songs,” according to an interview summary.
“He stated staff members in the area gave thumbs-up and did not care,” according to the police report.
