Travis Scott starts to appear in shows again, but the Astroworld tragedy victims are not yet done haunting him.
Recently, Scott dominated the stage in Miami for the first time since the Astroworld tragedy. He has also been tapped to take the stage at Billboard Music Awards 2022.
However, the dark days are not over for him since a new court filing has been officially submitted to the court.
Rolling Stone first reported the development, disclosing that more than 4,900 injury claims related to the Astroworld incident have been listed in a new court filing.
Aside from the 10 deaths, it also highlights the 732 claims related to severe injuries that needed extensive medical treatment. Meanwhile, 1,649 injuries were listed under the less-extensive treatment, and 2,540 claims for injuries remain under review.
The victims' attorneys - Jason Atkin, Sean Roberts, and Richard Mithoff - divided the injuries into the said categories.
As of this time, they are yet to reveal how they categorized the extensive and less-extensive injuries.
"It's very clear that the tide is turning as the authorities and public conversation has been focused on concert operators and security contractors rather than performers," a source told Complex.
Why Travis Scott Still Joins Billboard Music Awards Amid Legal Issues?
On Monday, Billboard confirmed that Scott would join the ceremony's line-up, which currently includes Meghan Thee Stallion, Latto, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Morgan Wallen.
Sean "Diddy" Combs would serve as the host this year. He eventually confirmed Billboard's announcement on Instagram, claiming that he personally made a demand to invite the rapper to the BMAs.
"I made a request, I made a demand. I said, 'My brother Travis Scott has to perform. Diddy is hosting the show-I'm executive producing-he has to perform.' And NBC said 'yes.' So, it's going down Sunday. Travis Scott will be performing," he said.
The new invitation came months after the lawyers for Astroworld Festival victims claimed that Scott and the Project HEAL initiative could only sway jurors. The Texas Task Force on Concert Safety also released a report revealing what went wrong in the Astroworld Festival that led to the deaths of 10 attendees and injured hundreds of others.
TFCS then listed its findings, saying that there had been recurring issues in Unified On-Site Command and Control, permitting, training, planning with risk assessment, and centralized resources.
