Another Lawsuit — Travis Scott Sued By Family Of 14-Year-Old Astroworld Victim

According to People, the suit that was filed Wednesday against Trav, Live Nation, and others, claims they failed to provide a safe environment for those in attendance. Among the security failures listed, a lack of personnel, barriers, and emergency medical staff, TMZ notes.
John’s dad, Chris, also released a statement saying, “The pain of our loss from our son John not making it home alive from an event such as this is intolerable. He was a beautiful young man who simply wanted to enjoy his first concert event with friends, whom he treasured spending time with more than anything else.” Hilgert was sadly one of 10 to lose his life at the show.
Travis’ attorney, Ed McPherson, tells us, “It was reported that the Operations Plan designated that only the festival director and executive producers have authority to stop the show, neither of which is part of Travis’s crew. This also runs afoul of HPD’s own previous actions when it shut down the power and sound at this very festival when the performance ran over 5 minutes back in 2019.”
