Eight people, including two teenagers, died in a frantic crowd surge during the Astroworld festival, an annual concert in Houston, Texas. And the first Astroworld festival coincided with the release of Scott’s eponymous studio album, “Astroworld.” The album cover for “Astroworld” featured the same gold replica of Scott’s head. But it wasn’t satanic imagery that inspired the album art or the 2021 festival entrance. The Buzz Magazines, a Houston-based digital publication, in 2018 noted that the Astroworld music festival featured a similar gold replica of Scott’s head that year in 2018. The deaths at the Astroworld concert had nothing to do with satanic rituals.
