The “Goosebumps” artist faced major backlash after he continued to perform on stage despite fans begging him to stop after things got out of control.

Scott has since claimed that he “1,000 percent” did everything he could to help those that were dying and that he didn’t hear fans pleading with him to stop.

Astroworld has since been dubbed one of the deadliest live-music crowd events in the country. Scott, organizer Live Nation, streamer Apple Music, and special guest Drake are facing more than 140 lawsuits in addition to a mass litigation suit by 1,500 concert attendees.

The “Highest in the Room” singer is attempting to make amends for his deadly concert, as he launched Project HEAL, an organization focused on making events safer and protecting the youth.
