Rapper Travis Scott is issuing refunds to attendees of the Astroworld festival in Houston. He also announced that he won’t perform his headlining set at this weekend’s Day N Vegas Festival.
His team says he’s “too distraught” to play after eight people died and dozens more were injured during a crowd surge at his Astroworld festival Friday.
Scott said he would cover all funeral costs for the victims and that he had partnered with BetterHelp to supply free one-on-one online therapy for those affected by the tragedy.
