Rapper Travis Scott said Monday he’ll cover the funeral costs of the eight people who died in the crowd Friday night during his performance at the Astroworld Festival in Houston. The eight victims, ranging in age from 14 to 27, were in the tightly packed crowd of 50,000 that violently surged. Those in the crowd described a highly traumatizing event where people were packed so tightly they couldn’t breathe and pleas for help went unheeded. AdvertisementAttendees have already started filing lawsuits against Scott and the event’s organizer, Live Nation, for failing to provide adequate safeguards. Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña said some of the blame undoubtedly falls on Scott for failing to react.
