Videos circulating on Twitter showed the crowd chanting “Stop the show, stop the show!”

In November last year, two years after the stampede, Scott broke his silence on Astroworld in an interview with GQ, saying he was “so devastated” by the tragedy, adding that he thought about the disaster “all the time.”
Scott said: ‘When you make music, you think about the things that happen in life and the things that happen to you in life, and you focus on them. That time for the families, for the city, you know, it was devastating. And when it came time to make, or even finish the album… I went back to it probably like, I don’t know, months and months and months later.
“And the idea of getting back into music, working on music and just getting into that, it was therapeutic to be able to channel some of the energy into production and sounds and finishing it.
‘I mean I was very devastated, you know. Yeah… Yeah, I always think about that. Those fans were like my family. You know, I love my fans to the max.
In May of this year, Scott and Live Nation settled nine wrongful death lawsuits.
