In the wake of the Travis Scott concert tragedy, rest assured that a wave of lawsuits awaits us.
Travis Scott is being sued. This is the first opened case in a possible series of future claims against the artist after the concert at Astro world festival, which killed 8 people and 25 people were hospitalized.
One of the concert attendees, Manuel Souza, sued Travis Scott, as well as the companies responsible for organizing the Astroworld Fest - Live Nation Entertainment and ScoreMore. About it сообщает Billboard. In a statement, Souza argues that the tragedy could have been avoided.
"The defendants failed to provide security at the concert," said Steve Karcher, Souza's lawyer. “On the contrary, they deliberately ignored the danger that could threaten concert visitors. In some cases, their actions encouraged dangerous behavior at the concert,” the lawyer added. Karcher also noted that the organizers decided to continue the concert, despite the increased danger for concert goers.
The statement contains accusations that are addressed personally to Travis Scott. “Such [dangerous] behavior has long been encouraged by the founder of the festival and its main performer. His encouragement of violence at concerts has previously led to sad consequences, ”said Karcher.
Souza wants to sue the defendants for at least one million dollars.
Travis Scott, who faced criticism after the festival, reacted to the tragedy on Twitter, where he wrote in a written statement that he was "absolutely devastated by the events of last night." The artist promised to help Houston residents in need of support, and also thanked the fire and police services of Houston for the work done to save people.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner backed the rapper and concert organizers: "There were more security guards at the concert than at a World Series game" [a decisive series of games in major baseball]. “I will refrain from jumping to conclusions until the results of a thorough investigation,” Turner added.
Earlier, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said that the investigation into the causes of the tragedy is moving into the framework of a criminal one in connection with rumors that some of the victims had injected drugs before the concert.
