Travis Scott faces possible criminal charges for concert deaths

A Texas Grand Jury will determine whether Travis Scott and others should be prosecuted for the 2021 Astroworld festival tragedy that left 10 people dead and thousands injured.

The “Sicko Mode” rapper’s attorney Kent Schaffer told The Post in a statement Thursday: “The grand jury has been in session most of the day. There is no decision yet however we are confident that the grand jury will find no evidence that Travis violated the law.”

The Post also contacted the Harris County District Attorney’s Office for comment.

Scott previously claimed he had no idea that multiple fans were being trampled on and passing out in the crowd while he performed at the November 2021 event.

Eight Astroworld attendees died at the festival and two more later died in the hospital.

Fan-captured footage shows Scott noticing an ambulance in the crowd, pointing at it and asking, “What the f – – k is that?”

“If everybody good, put a middle finger up to the sky,” he instructed the crowd after two crew members came onstage to talk to Scott.

The “Goosebumps” rapper then resumed the show.

Last July, Scott stopped his Coney Island concert and ordered fans who had scaled a lighting truss to get down.

Astroworld resulted in over 300 civil lawsuits against Scott and event organizers, though no one has been criminally charged.
