After the devastating tragedy that occurred at the 2021 Astroworld Festival, numerous families filed lawsuits against recording artist Travis Scott and other companies involved. However, after months of negotiations and legal proceedings, all of the lawsuits have now been settled. The last one, which was filed by the Blount family, was resolved just a few months before the scheduled trial in September.
According to an attorney for the Blount family, S. Scott West, the family is satisfied with the outcome of the settlement and is looking forward to continuing their healing process while also never forgetting their beloved son, Ezra. The Houston Chronicle reported that the Blount family's lawsuit included Scott, Live Nation Entertainment, Apple, and other parties related to the festival.
In August of last year, it was announced that the families of Axel Acosta and Brianna Rodriguez had also reached settlements in their lawsuits. Additionally, Rolling Stone revealed that the family of John Hilgert, who tragically passed away at just 14 years old, had settled their lawsuit six months prior to the other families.
The Astroworld tragedy, which occurred on November 5, 2021, resulted in the deaths of 10 individuals, with the youngest victim being only 9 years old. Another 300 attendees were injured and treated at the venue, with 25 being taken to local hospitals. The Houston Police Department conducted an extensive investigation and released a detailed report in July of 2023, shedding light on the chaotic scene that unfolded at the festival.
The report stated that numerous individuals, including fans, security personnel, and camera operators, had tried to warn of the danger as the crowd became increasingly constricted and people were being crushed. Despite these warnings, the concert continued for an hour before finally coming to an end. The tragedy was a devastating and shocking event that shook the entire music community.
In recent news, Scott made headlines for a physical altercation that occurred at a party during the Cannes Film Festival. Reports from People revealed that Scott, along with Cher and her boyfriend Alexander "AE" Edwards, were attending a private villa party after the AmfAR Gala. The altercation, which involved Scott and Edwards, has sparked speculation and raised concerns about the rapper's behavior. However, for now, the focus remains on the resolution of the lawsuits from the Astroworld tragedy.
