A 9-year-old boy who was seriously injured at the Astroworld Festival on Friday night is in a medically induced coma in an attempt to overcome trauma to his brain, according to the boy’s grandfather. Bernon Blount told CNN his grandson, Ezra Blount, was in town to see “his favorite artist” and attended the concert with his father, Treston Blount. “When my son went to the concert, he had my grandson on his shoulder,” Blount said. When Bernon’s son came to, his grandson Ezra had already been taken to the hospital as a John Doe. This little boy had his whole life ahead of him — a life that is currently hanging in the balance because of the reckless mismanagement that ensued at the Astroworld Festival,” attorney Crump said in the statement.
