BBC: [2] US rapper Travis Scott is facing multiple lawsuits after at least eight people were killed and hundreds injured in a crush at his festival Astroworld.
[3] The lawsuits include allegations that Scott and surprise performer Drake incited the crowd, and that concert producer Live Nation failed to provide adequate safety measures.
[4] The rappers and Live Nation have not responded directly to the suits. Scott has said he is working to help the families of the victims. The youngest of those killed at the Texas festival was just 14 years old. [5] The surge began at about 21:15 local time on Friday (02:15 GMT Saturday), when panic broke out as the crowd pressed towards the front of the stage during Scott’s headline set.
