I was crushed in a human stampede in the San Francisco Free Tibet Festival 1996. I had spent over half an hour working my way away from the stage before the Red Hot Chili Peppers came out, but a tidal wave of people rushed the stage when they did come on, and I was pressed twice as close toward the stage as I had been 45 minutes earlier. My shoes were ripped off my feet, one of my feet was broken, and I couldn't breathe which caused me to panic. When I looked to my sides there were other people with fear in their eyes, some were saying "I can't breathe." I've done a LOT of concerts, shows, and music festivals in my life, but that was the only time I was scared I was going to die. I can feel the terror just listening to you describe this. I cannot believe Travis Scott continued to perform... what is wrong with him??? Linkin Park once stopped a show just to make the guys in the pit pick a kid up who fell! "Safety first" the lead singer said, and that should always be the first concern of any artist.
Crazy. I was at that show. Rage Against the Machine finished there set on one stage and then everyone rushed over to see RHCP. I remember getting pushed every which way. There's nothing you can do except try to stay upright.
@@spencerzumwalt8957I was a huge Rage fan, so I'd gotten too close. I had no concept of how many people were laying in wait back in those Polo Fields. I knew the next set would be a problem, which is why I tried to get away!! I was VERY far from the stage when the rush happened. I swear, I was far enough I almost needed binoculars, but wow--there were still so many people in the fields I would have never imagined what was about to happen, and I never imagined they would sell that many tickets with zero crowd control. No one needs to die over a music show.
That must have been awful... I can't imagine being crushed while Under the Bridge was playing. It's like a blatant expression of life imitating art. You must have felt like their was "nobody out there," and "all alone," even as you were being crushed.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience. It holds a lot of important information about what it feels like to be in that situation. So hopefully ppl in stampedes can be a bit more conscious of what to look for in these situations to minimize damage. I also like how you added the part about Linkin Park. I seen the clip and they executed that very well. So it shows what an effective solution looks like as well.
Sounds rough for what you went through so I hope you are ok and supported while this story is being actively processed in your surroundings by others.
Your feed back matters and wish you well.
He's lacking empathy and IQ points. This was foreseeable.
his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, was quickly removed by security right when bodies started dropping. Travis stopped his concert an hour after that. They knew.
Oh that’s how he got popular *rolls eyes*
The African American community must stand against this devastation.
These Jenner girls get around.
He shouldn't be allowed to have any more concerts over 50 people
She was pregnant too.
I had a seizure at a large festival (Warped Tour) in 2014, during The Story So Far’s set and within seconds the front man noticed something was wrong and stopped the set. He and the other musicians jumped off the set and followed me back into the medical tent to see if I was okay and they gave me some free merchandise. Those kids at Astroworld fest deserved so much better.
Agreed. They sure as hell did not deserve to be trampled under the feet of people who not give a damn what was happening.
What kills me are the people defending travis scott. Saying that the people chose to go to the concert. Yeah, but that doesn't mean they should die because of his carelessness and telling people to act a fool at his shows.....
No one gives a fk if you had a seizure
@@worththewatch1517 Clearly, multiple people did. Go outside and get some fresh air instead of being hostile for no reason in the most immature way possible.
@@gabrielguzman6018 Travis Scott didn’t run security or have the authority or knowledge to stop the show. Why is it 100% his fault?
This is the EXACT reason why I never purchase “floor” tickets for concerts. Just the thought of being stuck in the middle of a crowd of bodies makes me shiver. Appreciated the info on crowd surge
This can happen in the stands too. Crowd crush in stands happened in the Hillsborough disaster in Liverpool. There are YT videos of it. Any time there is over crowding this can and has happened, repeatedly.
@@rca6576 Fucking scary. I think I'll just stay at home for the rest of my life.
or "GA" (general admission)
but my Nine Inch Nail GA Floor concerts were fun in the pit jumping to the music all at once. If you needed to get out you just walk backwards (or even sideways if you needed a piss break and they usually will let you by) and people will let you by backwards cuz they can take your spot you just cant go more foreward.
Also my friend Drunk fell down in the maush pit one time and everyone immediately helped him up. Trent Reznor would never let that shit happen.
These people are encouraged to be crazy and antisocial and travis scott likes the "wild ones" He needs to be arrested and charged with manslaughter!
Yup. Way more folks in the bleachers than on the field. If you're on the field when they all come down, best of luck. Lower stadium tunnels are packed. Stay up top!
"Just a reminder I'm not diagnosing Travis Scott as a piece of garbage, only speculating on what could have caused him to act like a piece of garbage in a situation like this."
Haha this is perfect
He is in the Illuminati just like all other celebraties giving his soul to the devil just so he can gain material wealth and advance his career and his whole Satanic design for his performance was a satanic ritual, thats why so many people died and had heart attacks.
💀💀💀💀
You made me cry the ugliest laugh omggg lol
@@Jesusismykey seems like you need a diagnose next buddy.
The fact that the concert continued on as people were begging for it to stop, as medical vehicles and personnel were trying to function, as Travis himself (as evidenced by photos and videos of the event) literally saw injured/ unconscious/ dead concert-goers while continuing to play-
This is so disgusting
And also his other fans that were trampling over these people, stopping the ambulance from doing their jobs and jumping on top of the ambulance cars. They’re just as to blame too. Idk why he encourages his fans to do fucked up stuff at his shows. What type of person you have to be to enjoy seeing such violence? Gross.
And tons of people quick to come to his defence for that disgusting display.
@@giasaleen2 exactly they were part of that fuckery and evil doers
its ok he made a 20 second video mumbling and rubbing his forehead alot so hes clearly really upset about it
@@defusedplanet I hope you’re being sarcastic because on that video he tells people to “just keep your prayers”.. what kind of apology video tells people to keep their prayers?
I definitely avoid large events where the artist talk about ritually sacrificing their audience members in an orgy of blood, rage, and death.
@odin gave his eye to acquire knowledge Calling it “music” is quite a stretch.
I've been to many general admission concerts through the 90s. In Detroit-- went to the HOLE concert in 98 at the state theater. Show starts, Courtney Love comes out and the crowd went nuts and we all were pushed forward. It was rough and scary. Some guy yelled at me that if I need out he'll boost me to crowd surf. I went up, over the crowd where Courtney Love saw me, grabbed my hand, pulled me up on stage and told me to stay on stage & I'll be alright... I spent the entire show on that stage back by the drummer. She pulled up quite a few girls out of the crowd. Swear... Courtney Love saved my life.
A friend has the same story of Courtney pulling her onstage during a crowd surge in Dallas, 1995, lolapolloza. Makes me respect Love just a little bit more.
The media spotlights her flaws but she could also be hella cool. You could see it in the Kurt cobain nardwuar interview
The girl who tried to get the camera man do something and stop the music to help the people being crushed wrote the most heartbreaking account of what she experienced that night. The fear of no one listening to you amidst a tragedy is the most panic-inducing thing to me. I can’t imagine what the families of these victims are experiencing. Especially the youngest victim who would’ve had to ask their parents permission to attend.
I saw some deranged person defending the camera man saying he hope the GIRL was sued for trying to mess him up. People are morons.
May I have a link to her composition, please?
Cameraman's wife responded. Stated he called for help, but nothing more he was capable od doing?
@@shadowfax9177 BABYLON❗
Watching her and the other young man's distress as they were desperately trying to get them to STOP the performance and realize people were being injured and literally dying was so incredibly heartbreaking.
When Travis encouraged people to beat a child that allegedly stole one of his shoes, isn't just gross, its criminal. He can afford another pair, that child's life is priceless.
WHAT!? 😳
@@martybass7376 What for wanting an artist’s shoe as a momento? A real man would have handed him the other one. I’m sure he has several hundred pairs back at Kylie’s place
@@personalcheeses8073 dude wasn't a collector he was a thief. By a t shirt like a normal person
How exactly do you know it was a child?
Animal
I love Dr. Grande's statement,
"He does not have a lot of creativity in the area of lyrics and he is repetitive. Perhaps there is some parallel to what he yells on stage, like his comments about rage. It would appear that Travis needs to refine his message both in his music and in his encouragement to his audience."
That's how you intelligently articulate someone is a dumbass 🤣🤣🤣
@TeeLowKee🤍 🤣🤣 For sure
his wife is no different
@@kecym.4808 Just trash with $$
Trashy music for trashy people.
@@Rahab111222 So true!
Travis Scott clearly has no regard for his fans. I'm appalled by people who still support him.
I see so many idiots defending him in the comments. I'm losing faith in peoples ability to think critically.
A couple interviewed on CNN, still traumatized and who almost lost their lives, blamed the security, the management overseeing the event. But didn't mention Travis' name.
Let that sink in...
@@jankocbek85 Yikes. Who are you parroting? What Marxist? Supporting what? - You're funny.😜
@@keithbell9348 The cult-like devotion is scary. No discernment. No logic.
@@jankocbek85
As if you even know what a marxist is...😅😅😅
Who looks at a dead body being surfed by the crowd and keeps the show going? Even if they were merely unconscious, it's simple human decency to halt and evaluate the situation. As always, great review Dr. Grande
Everybody thinks it's so vogue to do it though.
His fans keep saying it's normal to see unconscious fans dying in the middle of concert which I can't understand. There is so many example when artists/performers simply put the show to an end when they noticed things didn't go smoothly as they planned. It doesn't need someone lost their live, fans went unconscious to completely stop the show.
Even at Travis's concert so many people asked him to stop. People kept calling his name for help. But he kept continued.
Sad.
@@sereinserenity2293 Blind loyalty to an artist they enjoy, without amy regard for common sense.
the video was cut before that he stoped the show to help hom then when they helped him they resume the show
@@majedjbielyy5082 he literally was singing as he watched a blue-grey corpse carried out from the crowd
Dr. Grande low key roasting Travis’s lyrical ability brought a much needed chuckle in the midst of this tragedy. Thank you Dr. Grande for the swift and thorough analysis. Travis should be charged and barred from holding concerts ever again. He’s sadistic.
Yes, once again Dr. Grande slips in his incredible, dry wit.
Sadistic is correct. A demonically possessed soul.
Sadistic? I wouldn’t say so. Ignorant? Most definitely yes.
I agree. I hope to see something happen to change this. He shouldn’t be able to perform live again. He’s instigated this behavior too many times.
Astroworld is a great album and Dr. Grande roasted literally the layout most modern day music follows
Travis Scott has shown he learned nothing from his past criminal charges. He needs to be put in jail for this! Not just sued!
I believe he thinks he’s untouchable. It would be nice to see him behind bars!
He definitely needs to do more than pay a fee. This is an unfair precedent. People with money get to do a lot of things, living above the law shouldn’t be one of those things.
Put in jail for people stampeding? Ok
Travis Scott is stepping up to help the families of those who died at Astroworld Fest -- offering to pay funeral costs.,
@@civildiscourse7626 he cares more for his shoes than his fans lives so yes he deserves some years behind bars
"A small group of self-centered people," are responsible for most disasters, on every scale.
Yes
I Hope They Can't Sleep at Night Especially the Person Injecting People with a Needle.!! Further More I Hope these Individuals CHANGE There Negative Behavior for the BETTER
Everybody seems to be slowly working out that maybe Travis Scott isn't a great guy...
He wants his fans to get hurt.
Didn't take me long to realize but common sense isn't so common nowadays...
@@michaelarojas yeah he's a sicko and enjoys it. I hope he gets charged and/or sued.
I didn't know much about him before this. I hope justice is served.
Listen to his music. It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out
I wouldn't go to this guy's concert even if I were paid. This guy is a mess by encouraging people to act violently to cause harm.
Facts!🗣
boycott Travis Scott forever
@@urvidas2929
I agree with that!!!!
Your encouraged not to pay & just break in.
Back in the 70's. David Cassidy had an arena show where one girl with heart issues died. It traumatized him so much he backed away from show biz and quit the highly popular Partridge Family. Different times.
Or different people. This guy is disgusting
Exactly.

Dr grande never disappoints with the low key, intelligent, shade.
I know. I learn so much from him about the less-is-more thing. Not that I really apply it lol.
I agree with that. I love that part of Dr, Grande, but this Needs to be yelled from the roof tops. PETA would protest this if it was a herd of cattle.
The more I learn about this Travis Scott guy, the less I like him.
(RIP, Norm.)
He sounds like a real jerk.
Lol
Ahhhhh he's a good guy....😏
Travis Scott doesn’t own a doghouse.
He's a nice guy
Travis Scott encouraged people to be as wild as possible. He incited this and should be charged.
He shouldn't have encouraged them, but also maybe people should think for themselves a bit more?
@@user82938 the only problem with that is the rest of the people surrounding you who don't :(
Paraphrased quote: "A PERSON is reasonable, aware and well intended. PEOPLE are hasty, irrational and hedonistic."
@@bmo9881 Hence why Dr. Todd said don't get yourself into that situation. Think for yourself before you end up in the middle of a huge crowd. That was his own conclusion, and I agree with him.
@@user82938 Not everyone had hindsight or knows the past performance mishaps of Travis. Innocent people went there to have a good time and usually you can go to a concert unscathed.
It sounds like Travis Scott gets off on people being hurt at his concerts.

It was a satanic sacrifice in exchange for fame and wealth..via Illuminati procedures...Its not the first concert where this has happened.

And while you're at it, describe this Illuminati "procedure"...

@@betsysuetrueman3532 crazy person alert
As an autistic person I have never wanted to do to a concert. Too many people, making so much noise, and disregarding boundaries. I don't like when people bump into me, this sounds incredibly terrifying. The poor people who died or were injured didn't deserve this.
I agree, a concert sounds like hell to me
Same here. But as a music lover, there’s been times I wish I could enjoy concerts. Not anymore. It’s hard to imagine a more horrible way to die
I went to a Cannibal Corpse and Dark Funeral concert several years back and the venue was clearly over max capacity due to the greed of the venue owner. The crowds did what crowds do at these concerts, but the fact that the venue was too full the ocean of people began to crush others between them and at the barricades. This is very common and somewhat expected, however during both sets when the artists saw it getting too bad they stopped whatever song they were playing and talked the crowd down and gave people a chance to go to the outskirts of the venue if they wanted out before they would play again. Goes to show this could have been prevented by the artist himself.
This!
This there’s plenty of other artists who have paused/stopped shows due to safety or not even safety related issues. There’s no excuse for what Travis Scott did. He could’ve paused at any time and chose not to.
Exactly!!
When I was a teen I was upfront at a KoRn concert, when they came on stage I was squeezed until I passed out. Luckily security was right in front of me and pulled me over, also it happened so fast i didn't realize what was happening until i woke up on the side the security was on... several other people must have passed out too because there were people waking up next to me and vomiting. I am so sad for the victim's families. It can happen so easily :(
I’m sooooo frustrated for you not being to be able to write the backwards R… 💀💀💀💀 grrrr… but I’m soooo glad you took the time to capitalize said R and even more delighted you were ok!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
How scary
Thank goodness someone was able to come get you quickly! I was hearing that security was fighting like the devil to get through to people at Astroworld and just couldn't.
@@LosAngelesLaura haha ikr I was thinking that when I was writing that, awesome u noticed :)
@@joy-115 didn't realize how scary it really was until I was well into adulthood. At the time I was 15, at my favorite bands show with my best friend, not even thinking about danger. I had actually laughed and bragged about passing out! To think what could have happened just blows my mind everytime I think about it
With all these priors, this dude should go straight to jail and doesn’t collect $200.

@@adriannasmiths8262 it’s the least he could do, or did you not expect him to do this after he encouraged people to “rage?”
@@adriannasmiths8262 This guy should be stepping into a jail cell.
My heart goes out to the families of those victims who passed in such a horrific way. I pray the people who died are at peace now.
I live in Houston and was passing NRG stadium at 1000 on the day of the concert. Traffic was blocked off in multiple directions and was merged down to one lane so metal fencing could be erected to hold all the video and satellite equipment. I told my husband that something bad was going to happen because they've never block that much traffic off- even for the Houston Rodeo. I'm a RN and work in the Texas Medical Center which is less than one mile away. I knew if there were any issues, emergency responders would not be able to respond due to crowds and traffic. It tooks us 25 minutes to go 1/4 mile just to get past NRG. This could have ABSOLUTELY could have been prevented!!!
There was this travel book that said "Don't go into areas of civil unrest" and I know a crowd can turn into that. I was crowd trampled at a street festival. I got knocked over and people were stepping on my legs, and they didn't mean to.This giant guy pulled me up and hauled me to the curb and took off before I could finish saying thanks. If he had been knocked down, he might not have made it. And this wasn't even a big crowd.
I'm glad you're safe!!!
That's frightening!
I've always hated crowds, even when I was younger. I've been to concerts etc, but always was aware of the exits and surroundings.
Be safe!
Not ONLY did Travis keep going during all of this chaos- he went to an afterparty with drake after the night was over.
At Dave & Busters, of all places…
Yep. Then Drake went and threw a mil at Area29
What ? I can't believe it. What a disrespectful punk.
@@shimmer8289 yup. Said he didn’t find out until the next day or something 🙄
Cuz that was part of their satanic ritual
Nobody should “die for” anything Travis Scott! Just saying!
Yes! In big picture, Travis Scott is a nobody. Life and family too precious to die for Travis Scott. There are videos on this incident that explain how Satanic or Demonic the stage and set up was and signs "see you on the other side". I'm not even Christian but I'm started to believe that are demonic and dark energies.
And Travis Scott obviously gets off when people get harmed in his concerts.
Or for any other “celebrity”.
Crazy, Dr Grande is so fast sometimes it’s like he needs “Breaking News” subtext!
I genuinely didn’t know about this until watching the video. How terrible…hard to think of anything more than that to say..
His button down shirts give him super powers!
What can I say? Grande KNOWS staying current is a MUST. 😀
I've been on this story for 3 days. It's only breaking news for those that don't read headlines. This has been a HUGE story, at least with the younger folks for days. I'm not young but saw the headline in my youtube feed the night it happened.
@@moniquemonicat Not "breaking news" but "breaking analysis." Anyone can say that an event happened the day it happened, but proffering an analysis in three days is pretty impressive.
Mr.Scott should not be allowed to hold large performances any longer. He's a danger to humanity.
Natural selection.
I think he shouldn't be allowed to "profrom" anywhere..... Then again I stopped listing to rap in the 90's too...
It feels a if he feeds off the dark and chaotic energy.
I got crushed against the fence at the front of a silverchair concert in '97. Broke 13 bones. The worst of which being 4 broken ribs & a severely cracked sternum. It's horrifying how powerful a crowd is. It's like being in whitewater. There's nothing you can do, the water/crowd will move you no matter how hard you try to fight it, it's too powerful.
I'm so sorry that happened to you!!
@@a.lindsay Thanks, but honestly I must be a bit crazy because I still think it was worth it to be front row for my favorite band🤣 So much so I tempted fate by doing it 5 more times. I was obsessed with silverchair in the late 90's.
Ur crazy. But that's ok!!!
Did you have ANY idea that something like that was a POSSIBILITY before you bought a ticket?
@@CowSaysMooMoo I didn't know it would be so bad. I knew getting hurt in a mosh pit was highly possible, but didn't think the front row would be so rough.
Stampede is a bit of a misnomer, this was more of a crowd crush. Crowd crushes aren't a new thing and rarely are the fault of individuals in the crowd, each individual does not have the power to move as an individual at that density. If you watch videos of it you can see that the crowd almost behaves as a fluid. The media has often reported the cause of crushes as a result of bad behaviour. Check out the Hillsborough disaster, the Who concert crush, any of the mecca disasters and you'll see it has a lot more to do with the layout of the event itself, lack of wave breakers, exits and crowd control. That being said, I do agree that if Travis Scott was aware of what was happening he is partially to blame for not stopping as early as possible, as we've seen other artists do in the past. The fact that Travis has been known to encourage fans to breech barriers, and has incited violence in the past makes this a bit more complicated. Another thing to keep in mind is that stage crews can, if necessary, cut the power to the stage and broadcast safety messages. I think there is a lot going on here and it will be interesting to see what comes out of the investigations, I hope you do a follow-up video when we learn more!
Best comment I've seen about this event to date...
That said, Travis Scott is a giant douche bag... and I'm appalled to learn about who his is as he's being marketed for our children via Fortnite and McDonald's.
This is the first comment I’ve seen regarding this tragedy that I completely agree with. No outrageous conspiracies, no sweeping over generalizations, no baseless assumptions… just a calm, reasonable observation of the facts. Thank you.
I agree OP. It is dangerous and misguided to place the onus of responsibility on the individuals in a crowd. We learned this at Hillsborough, where our disgusting UK press tried to blame the Liverpool fans for the horrific tragedy, which was a result of several other factors than "fan mentality". Travis needed to stop the show rather than carry on for a full hour, and the festival staff needed to listen to the attendees crying for help and cut the system. But the fans are not to blame. There will be enough survivor's guilt for many of the attendees as it is without implying a "certain type of fan" is to blame for this. Crushes happen in all sorts of different settings for a variety of reasons.
I guess the Fascinating Horror channel will be covering this soon.
Exactly and Travis went to an afterparty. He clearly doesn't care😢
Travis Scott went online before the concert encouraging his fans to crash the show despite it being at max capacity already, and to be as wild as possible when he took the stage. He saw medical staff trying to remove people from the crowd and heard people begging him to stop the set. He kept playing and egging on the crowd for 40 minutes after people began dying.
This is beyond civil suits. He needs to be charged with inciting a riot and held criminally responsible for all of the lives his concert has forever changed. Also, all the proceeds from that festival should be forfeited to the families of the victims. One fake "apology" video that he couldn't even be bothered to get sober to make isn't NEARLY enough.
Just an ad-on: he is refunding and paying for funerals and not doing 2nd day or Las Vegas festival. Still at least partly his fault!
@@bthomson He's doing all that to try and hedge off the lawsuits. I sincerely doubt he's giving away his money from the goodness of his heart.
He will be sued into oblivion!
He also got mad at security for keeping people behind the barriers and encouraged them to let even more people in.
I hope 🤞 he gets exactly what he deserves!
The only appropriate time for a crowd to chant "We want rage" is if it involves Rage Against the Machine about to take stage
Oh yeah! Legendary band.🔥
Rage on behalf of the machine
I saw them live and did not see any dead bodies. Medical tent right near mosh pit.
@@Galworld761 Right? In the countless festivals I've been to in the PNW there are usually three med tents placed around depending on the size of the venue. Years ago I saw Pantera and it was tamer than what went down at this place.
This was simply put, ORCHESTRATED MADNESS! Prayers to all affected by this horrible tragedy.
That would include you. The portal to hell was opened and he took souls for the demons. You government , fbi, cia federal, state, local , corps, promoters, record label, artist are all in on tbe satanic ritual and the destruction of humanity disguised as entertainment
@@johnrichardson5858 Are you okay dude? That's a leap if I've ever seen one.
The phrase "The Show must go on" now has sinister undertones.
As a thespian.. I seriously thought that myself yesterday
As an actress I always felt that way... but always in regards to the entertainers not the FUCKING AUDIENCE WTFFF
tell that to Owen Harts family.
Well, the Show must go on, but your Fans also should survive it. Forget this guy and remember Freddy.
It always did
Sometimes the show must _NOT_ go on
Houston’s Police Chief, Troy Finner who knows Travis Scott personally visited his trailer before Scott took the stage warning him about the crowd. I can’t imagine encouraging concert goers to “ Rage” or continuing to perform when ambulances were trying to get in to help people. Giving his past it seems as though something like this was unfortunately bound to happen. I can’t imagine the pain all the families of the deceased and those that were hurt are going through. Prayers for all of them. Thank You as always Dr. Grande for your brilliant insight and analysis.
Ain’t nobody trying to hear that. They same way they can shut down a block party, call every department to stop a damn protest, rush to the scene of one of their fallen….they could’ve done SOMETHING about this. But at the end of the day it’s Houston not surprising. EVERYONE failed each other in this situation. EVERYONE had a chance to do SOMETHING. But money talks so 🤷🏿♂️
@@Porter5habazz you just said a mouthful sir.
@@Porter5habazz 🎯 What a load of phooey. A competent police chief would have cancelled the show after the VIP admission gates were breeched. It was clear as the gatecrasher ran right by the three mounted police that the entire security plan was NOT WORKING. A system that can be broken by a couple hundred rowdy people is crushed, literally & figuratively, by 50K+. No brainer.
ps. Promoters "should" have called it too, but the police have more of a moral responsibility to protect people over profits. It's sad.
Music/Concert/Entertainment promotors have a responsibility to promote what is good, and not just what is most profitable for them. Are the promoters telling Travis what to say? The apologies don't seem genuine. I think he wants to keep the gigs going and the money flowing.
Apparently Travis Scott posted in May when the concert sold out, that people should help people break in and enter without tickets. This happened causing overcrowding. Is that a possible manslaughter?
Everything is possible at this point
His lawyers will argue every possible angle, and likely succeed in doing so.
Yes the lawyers will be looking at all the vids posted from him praising injured fans. Plus more.
More like homecide.
@@catnapper7509 manslaughter is homicide
Second lesson Todd basically calling Travis Scott’s music trash lmao couldn’t agree more
I didn’t realize this was such a common thing. I attended a Beck concert in ‘97 in Athens GA and after the two opening bands were done playing, the crowd began to compress and, considering that me and my friends were at the front near the stage, we were completely helpless against the motion of the crowd, which became essentially like water. One person would stumble or fall and it would send 200-300 people careening across the venue. You were completely powerless to fight against it. I witnessed several people pass out, lots of girls and guys crying, etc. This was one of my first shows, so I thought that this was just how concerts were, lol. As soon as Beck took the stage, he refused to continue the show until everybody “got the fuck back”. He was even helping security pull people out of the front of the crowd himself, as some people were getting crushed against the stage. There was def a time where I thought I would die that night.
this is how caring artists behave when they see fans in trouble...
Anyone who performs for a living knows this shit. Some want the headline, the culture of the rough show etc. This is his bat or pigeon that'll keep the kids coming for the experience, nothing bigger than death. And the kids will be eager for their "went to this dipshits concert and survived" shirt. I had no idea who he was, still don't, so he boosted his exposure to another level. Idiots are already out there pushing satanic concert sacrifice videos, moronic urban legends that are fun for the lunatic religious zealots and conspiracy theorists as well as the kids that want to say they went to the biggest baddest show. If it sells. I doubt they'll be able to stick him with much more than a fine.
Center Stage in Atlanta. Guadalcanal Diary's farewell concert. Terrible "band", Chickasaw Mudpuppies made the crowd so mad by sucking that they began to surge, hurling insults, yelling "Get off the stage!" I was down front. Got crushed for over 2 hours. The stage was thigh high and I thought my leg was going to break. I begged the people in the wings off the stage to pull me out. They ignored me. The show went on. I left barely able to walk and had a HUGE, dark, gelatinous bruise on my thigh. I felt lucky not to end up in the hospital with a snapped leg. Ruined me for concerts for a very long time.
@@AJNpa80 Preach! It is what it is. People need to stop looking for esoteric explenations and deeper meaning. Crazy is part of Travises brand and a ton of naive teenagers are more than happy to pay good money to be a part of his "shit show".
Beck has always been an amazing person.
His black and white "apology" video where he seems drugged up and irritated to have to act like he cares about people is appalling. Travis seems to enjoy causing chaos and out-of-control behavior...inciting fans to beat people, inciting fans to crush forward to jump over barriers or onto the stage, inciting fans to jump off balconies...this incident sounds almost inevitable considering the pattern...eventually, a tragedy like this would occur. 😞
His behavior would strongly suggest that the guy is a textbook sociopath.
The "word on the street" is He's a pill lover. If that is true.. That would explain a lot. The lack of empathy,.the empty look in his eyes and the inability to make sane and quick decisions in moments when that is needed.
@@Marc001 Everyone knows what he is. 👁👁👁
@D ii Y A The section on "Antisocial Personality Disorders" in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders would give you good insight into his behavior, especially his profound lack of empathy for the well-being of others, clearly evidenced by his continuation of his performance despite the concert descending into a "mass casualty event'.
I hope he's criminally charged for this. A judge should take one look at the evidence and his past charges and he should be behind bars.
I just HOPE he doesn't pay his way out of this.
This was 100% preventable.
He KNEW what was going on and carried on regardless.
He encourages this type of behaviour in all of his live shows. It's even in his long lyrics.
Horrendous. Just horrendous. 😓
Don't blame him for the actions of there,blame the people doing the crime.
@@diamondspear3328 he could have stopped the show. He saw an ambulance and didn't even wait for it to get out of the crowd before continuing. Continuing the performance, continuing to hype these rowdy people made everything worse. I could get on board that he didn't know there was trouble in the crowd, but the fact that he shrugged off an ambulance (no questions, just "hands up ppl!") really tells me he was not even considering the crowd at all.
He's not the sole man responsible, but he definitely had a role to play in this. He is the reason everyone is there, if he left the crowd would have trickle away and loosen up.
When I was growing up, open floor “seating” was not allowed after The Who concert disaster. Fast forward to more recent times and open floor is a thing once again and the same disasters all over again….
As someone who survived and witnessed such kind of tragedy in the German/ international technofestival _Loveparade_ event in Duisburg where 21 people lost their young lives sadly because of a mass panic attack I can feel the pain of the families and friends who suffer now from the consequences... Thanks for analyzing this to wake up people. Please don't go to such events when you are sensitive and claustrophobic. I wish all the best for the survivors and the victims a rest in peace❣💞
Wow! Thanks for sharing your experience, and offering this (very reasonable) piece of advice. Best wishes from Greece🙂
I can't imagine how scary that had to have been! How did you survive? Do you still have problems from experiencing that horrible attack?
The thing is these should be safe. Gigs are getting way way too big and this generation doesn’t seem to have gig etiquette that in the past stop this from happening. I have suffered crowd crush before, it’s horrific, but it’s also why they stop. There is no reason he continued to play. The entire back stage was aware what was happening and they just kept going.
I remember when this happened. We used to have a similar event in San Francisco called Love Fest, which ended up being cancelled because of what happened at the event in Germany.
Thankful you survived. Remember that it isn't only people who are sensitive and claustrophobic who get hurt when that kind of dynamic is at play.
Whenever I’m confused about questionable public behavior, I look forward to Dr. Grande’s professional information.
Just make sure you don't end up on one of these!
Been in many mosh pits and been knocked down tons of times. Difference is, at every metal concert I've been to, everyone helps each other up asap.
These guys like Travis Scott think they’re so cool and crazy.. they’re just sad. He thinks he’s so above everyone else, he didn’t even felt the need to check on people who admire him, who payed to listen to his music and to be there. It must’ve been so scary, I can’t imagine the panic.
Great video!
He actually saved one person. Someone passed out in the front and he paused the show. He told the crowd to move and not to touch him, then had the medics get him out of the crowd. The video being showed all over the internet of him singing “yeah” is to the medics while they carry the guy out of the crowd. You can argue he should’ve stopped the show right then and there, but ppl pass out at festivals all the time due to drug use and dehydration so it isn’t uncommon. But the moment he heard there was a stampede of ppl breaking in, he should’ve stopped the concert, which I believe was before ppl started passing out.
That one video of the police and security trying to lift that woman on a backboard who was unconscious and dropping her on her head /neck pretty much sums up this disaster. RIP to all who died. Thanks for the video Dr. 🙏🏽
@@mlsaulnier thanks for you’re service. That was hard to watch to say the least.
@Alicia Vazquez probably, it did not look good to begin with, then they dropped her on her neck.
@Alicia Vazquez I heard she lived but I don't have proof. (Edit: sadly, she went brain dead.)
@@johnnycochicken she died poor mother is having a nervous breakdown
@@lpl433 I found out later :(
One of the biggest problems is that over half of the crew was made of day laborers not trained professionals. This goes all the way down the line from medics, to security, to the stagehands. I’m a stagehand in Texas, and choose not to do the Astroworld show because the setup looked miserable. A lot of trained stagehands have left the industry, and their positions were filled by less experienced people. This goes for everyone. Security was just a bunch of guys who didn’t know anything about crowd control, and a bunch of them were there to have fun too. A lot of the medics didn’t know what to do, and they didn’t have enough medical equipment. When things went wrong NOBODY knew what to do, no nobody did anything. It’s was chos with no one able to get control and shut things down. Travis kept on performing, but someone should sent the message to cut the audio and stop the light show. Perhaps if there were more experienced production crew, maybe someone would’ve thought of that.
so many people quit the industry during the pandemic, because there were no gigs. now these people have found other gigs and aren't coming back. this makes total sense. Livenation probably hired anyone who would work for $10/hr and free ticket....
Agreed. They most likely hired the cheapest "staff" they could find.
Remember the Pearl Jam concert at the Roskilde festival, people died but people learned from it and organized festivals in a different way. Seperate the front and the back and have a V section after the front. Why didnt Live Nation learn from this? That was more than 20 years ago. Why do festivals in Europe get it right and not in the usa?
I’m sorry but that diss at the end “he’s not very creative and his music is repetitive “ 😂😂
His music is awful. I’ve told my Son the same thing it’s repetitive, he needs to have a voice compressor, he’s a no talent ass clown
I genuinely dont understand how he is still allowed to hold concerts. MY thoughts go to the family of the deceased and to the injured people
Was crushed at a concert a few years ago. The singer hopped from stage and everyone just pushed me against the barrier would not wish the pain on my worst enemy. There should be better crowd control at concert venues.
Maybe they should stop general admission and only do assigned seating?
I heard about Travis Scott, but I can't name one song. I remember the media talking about him and Nicki's album sales a few years back. Many people put evil in their music, having their listeners act violently. Guard your eyes, ears, and hearts.
Travis has made DEFYING authorities' safety measures part of his celebrity identity. An example: when authorities limited attendance to lessen crowd density he tweeted out that the "ragers" would still be snuck in regardless. Since his reckless behavior has brought him money and fame, he doesn't believe it's possible he could have done anything wrong-- as is quite evident from the "apology" video where he talks about how HE sees it as just "giving his fans a good time". Except, of course, all the injured and dead ones he seems to think aren't his fault because he didn't "mean to" kill them.
I was involved in something on a very small scale at my highschool. We were waiting to be let into the local auditorium for a talent show. I was at the front of the group and students at the back started pushing. It was a bit frightening because you cant control the motion when it starts when things are so cramped. We broke the doors from their hinges and a few in front fell but no one were trampled. Again very small scale but it can go wrong very quickly. Love and thoughts to the loved ones of the victims.
Scary
there was an accident like this in Bulgaria too and iirc the crowd was way smaller.
That’s the thing, it go wrong very quickly. Glad you weren’t hurt
Wow you are almost trampled by people who are excited to see tap dancing, magic, and cheesy singing.
When I was younger Ienjoyed getting in the Mosh Pit, but even there are rules
*If someone falls pick them up
*Open hands, no fists
*shoulders and hips, no elbows and feet
*No Karate in the pit
It is so sad that lives were lost, what I learned, is unsafe to go to Travis S. Shows. There is a video of Linkin Park where they stopped the show for someone's safety.
Travis should have done all he could to stop the concert when it was quite clear that things were getting out of control. He ignored the warning signs. He has encouraged reckless behaviour before, and this time 8 young people lost their lives. He should be held accountable.
Travis Scott should be discontinued with his contract and charged.
Those people went to enjoy his music, and he stood by while they died. In fact, he was singing while they died.
He may not have known how bad it was, but once you pause the show more then once, maybe take a break and find out what's happening in YOUR crowd.
Also, whoever was injecting people(If that's what was happening) needs to be found and prosecuted, surely they weren't changing the needle in between...
Apparently they charged a security guard and injected him
Reckless disregard for Human life!! Prosecute, this guy is no stranger to the pitfalls of concert mass hysteria.
Edit: **whole situation is CLEARLY fucked up, I’m simply trying to simmer down your fears of certain things happening that in all probability weren’t, that’s all. In no way should my words be mistaken as condoning any type of behavior as vile as stabbing people with needles.**
Not changing a needle isn’t that big of an issue in this case, actually (still obviously not ideal, but not likely as bad as you’re probably thinking). Chances are they were injecting fentanyl, an opioid that gets injected into muscle tissue. The IV drugs they warn you about are injected into veins, which is where diseases such as hepatitis and HIV reside. This person, tho fucked up, wasn’t going around giving ppl blood diseases by injecting into their muscles ( you can’t just stab, say, heroin into a random person and have it have any effect, it has to be entered in a vein, which takes clear light, a specific angle, and time to figure out. It’s all but humanly impossible to properly walk up to someone and stab a needle correctly into their vein without them stopping you before you can do it, and when you miss a vein, opioids like heroin just create a small, somewhat painful abscess and have no effect otherwise on the body-meaning you won’t get high, pass out, or OD.)
Regardless, chances are they were using different needles. Syringes are small and only hold so much, if someone were stabbing multiple people and injecting them with drugs it’s way more likely that they had multiple needles on their person and were going around injecting folks than to assume they were reloading up the same syringe multiple times in a crowd that was so packed that folks were literally dying in it. There is all but a 0% chance of that being the case.
Agreed! He has blood on his hands.
@@thesearchfortruth2752 The security guard WAS injected in the neck, not doing the injecting. Dr. Gross even discusses this situation in his video. The guard was "charged" by the crowd, and someone plunged a syringe in his neck. He had to be brought back with Narcan.
There’s been a huge trend where hip hop/pop artists encourage mosh pits at their shows and tell people to rage and go crazy in the crowd etc, I think it goes hand in hand with certain artists taking elements from punk and metal culture because they see it as cool.
But as someone who’s been to a lot of punk shows, it’s such a bad idea to encourage that in these huge festival crowds. They don’t get that punk/metal shows are typically SMALL and the crowds, while they can be rowdy, usually know exactly what they’re getting themselves into, and tend to help anyone who falls or gets seriously injured right away. Also the pit is an open space, so you can choose to enter it or not at your own will. And the bands are not up on these huge stages, there right near you, and can easily tell people to knock it off if anyone is being purposefully violent.
I tagged along to Rolling Loud with some friends in 2016, and I was really surprised that one rapper was on stage yelling at the crowd to “open up a pit” and saying “I’ll stop performing if I don’t see a pit open up, I wanna see everyone go crazy” and stuff like that. The crowd was huge and I immediately knew it was gonna be horrible and pushed myself out. My friends wanted to stay, which they regretted as they both ended up covered in dirt and bruises from being shoved to the ground and stepped on. I felt terrible for anyone small/short who couldn’t escape at all. Never went back to a big festival after that, it was so miserable.
These artists come off as insanely narcissistic, like they enjoy watching the chaos from up on a big stage and are reveling in the control they have over all these people, with no regard to the actual experience anyone on the ground is having. Live music is supposed to be FUN. Hopefully this tragedy will get this trend to finally stop .
This wasn't live music. It was rap.
The last few hip hop/rap concerts I’ve been to I’ve seen the artist ask for them to open up a mosh pit. Like wtf? When did this become apart of hip hop?
I’ve been to 2 Travis concerts. One of them, he was pissed because people weren’t raging 🙄
The event planners this year should have taken note and learned from the last AstroWorld event…it was chaos and unruly then.
@@cajunscorpion yeah considering it's not even music
Cultural appropriation by Scott and others with no understanding of pit ethics.
@@theflyingkaramazovbrothers6 😂
I was at a rock concert, and I live in a smaller city, there was a lot of people there but it wasn't the biggest concert in the world. But I made a point to go to the front of the crowd. At one point, everybody around me pushed into me so hard that I couldn't breathe. I'm 6 ft 4 in tall and at the time was probably about three hundred pounds, and I was still at the mercy of the crowd around me letting up so I can breathe again. It was like there's so many bodies pushing against me in so many directions that I couldn't breathe. The idea that there is so many people pushed up against me that I couldn't make my lungs go in and out was super scary. But that ended within 20 seconds and I was back to rocking. After that I was a little more careful about where I stood.
At your size, that is saying something about the danger of large crowd.
This is THE BEST explanation of what happened at the Astroworld festival.
Many of the other videos out there were made by actual concert attendees. Therefore, their personal involvement with the event is too overwhelming for them to handle. While also retelling their experience in detail, to the best of their ability. Based on the limited info we have regarding his persona, Travis Scott does not seem to support ethical morals and has a limited vocabulary.
What's scarier is....he and Kylie Jenner have a 3 year old daughter....who was present at this concert.
He said the words “whoa, whoa, whoa” 😂 in a less than articulate way to calm people down. Love you Dr. Grande
Stop! Stop! Stop! Same syllables!
Could he say it in any other way ?
@@j.g.junior9835 Travis' low IQ won't allow him to articulate it any other way, unfortunately.
Okay I recall seeing people pass out at Michael Jackson concerts from just being star truck by the King of Pop…
I believe Travis thinks that he’s on that level of stardom that when he sees people passing out getting hurt and going crazy at his concerts validates how “Incredibly powerful” he must be…
Travis really believes that his name will be edged in the greatest musicians of all time…
Him seeing the what looked to be a lifeless body being lifted from the crowd and ambulance gave him a hard on…
He’s delusional and it’s sad that his fans flamed the delusion and some lost there lives in the process.
That's pretty smart of you 😌
I just want to clarify that the people who were passing out in Michael Jackson concerts were passing out not just because of his stardom, but because it would be very crowded and condensed. When you're in a crown at a concert, no matter how big or small the venue is, the main performer comes on and people want to try to get as close as possible to the artist. Because of that it gets very hot and it's hard to breathe so eventually a person can pass out from it.
Source: a concert goer that has had this happened before
And not a single death at hundreds of Beatles concerts or at Woodstock (at least not from trampling).
I had never heard of him before all this...
@@elizabethpodest2759 really
Other important things to note: there was no age requirement, young children allowed to attend; security staff were unqualified; police did not enforce the law; there is conflation with opioids to cover up mismanagement; staff reported other staff were on drugs. They signed up for the free show. There needs to be exit points around the front to relieve pressure. Travis Scott encouraged sneaking in which led to much larger crowd than allowed. There were only two water stations. Fans said it took 4 hrs wait in line to get water.
"A relatively small number of self-centered people were partially responsible for this disaster."
-Shocking!
Thank you, also, for the 4-people/1-meter sq. density threshold (for danger)! It's something to keep in mind, and something people can actually watch for, to stay safe.
The organisers Live Nation Entertainment have had around 200 deaths at events organised by them since 2006. That's around 13 a year.
How do they manage to stay in business? I can't imagine any company would want to insure them.....
dayum...
Interesting occult number …. We are putting the pieces together
Dr Grande is so responsive to his followers. I know this is going to be good !
We’re here in Houston, young 14 yr. old victim attended my daughter’s high school. We are all devastated, this was so unnecessary. Thanks for a very well done review, this helps.
This has been THE BEST AND MOST INFORMED video regarding this topic that I’ve seen so far anyways I’ve been watching 5-10 a day since Monday! Great job on this video! Ty
“Whoa…whoa…..whoa. In a less articulate way….” BURN! 😂 Great video! The fact that his fan base are calling him a good guy for refunding all ticket holders that attended, shows that this generation is out of their minds with the obsession of idolization. Especially with social media making it easier.
Unreal. How does a guy prove he's dangerous onstage so many times and end up back there again?
Money!🤑
He has a huge fan base that are more than happy to pay good money to be a part of this mess. It's not just about him.. The problem is also the people that support him
For me, the fact that people attend this type of event only indicates the degree of current social decomposition. If it is true that this guy is totally guilty, the assistants are also.
It's not current, people have attended mass events back to Roman times watching people get mauled by lions. It's basic human nature.
Dr. Grande has an in depth , bright, yet down to earth approach to most topics. Well done!
Today 8 families woke up again to an ONGOING LIVING NIGHTMARE with the realization their child is dead, killed needlessly and recklessly. Over 300 injured, all young people. 11 people had cardiac arrests. 13 still in hospital. Travis has encouraged violence rage destruction for years and no one has done anything about it until *maybe* now.
Self centered, rude, uncaring humans are to blame, along side Travis himself.
Why anyone would attend a garbage cesspool like this and pay money to do so is outside of my understanding. Our society is deteriorating not evolving for the better.
I love your videos, they are always very informative. Your voice is also very soothing and pleasant to the ear
They should have shut it down when people were climbing over barricades and jumping over the gates.
EXACTLY. As many people that were there, HPD presence wasn’t very known. Or they wouldn’t have been able to storm that gate in the first place. What event planner throws something THIS huge and only hires Security?? Things can get dangerous QUICKLY. Meanwhile, half of the department probably worried about some baby ass block party down the street. Smh
When I saw those people raging the VIP area doors, I already thought about those egoistoc self-centered ppl that dr Grande mentioned. Almost nobody stopped to help others who fell, they were just running to the stage. I think every person seen running there (there's a lot of videos) should be ASHAMED as f.
Another suggestion is to just stay home. Its crazy out there. Side note the SHADE on Travis' lack of talent was hilarious 🤣
this. i don’t understand the appeal of these shows.
@@xdandychiggins I don't understand the appeal of that kind of "music"... To me in the 90's rap started to get a C before it...
@@jonathanbair523 fully agreed. this isn’t music to me tbh, but that’s just me.
Your concept and explanation of this situation is deep through and spot on!!!! You have summed up my amazement, confusion and horror to all of these unmistakeable visions I was trying to sort out and make sense of. Kudos Dr.!!
Well said! As always you give an accurate composition of the news at hand. God bless you
That is extremely irresponsible and reckless of him to encourage people to act in such dangerous ways! Really disappointing and very heartbreaking that this occurred. How could he still perform and encourage dangerous behavior and ignore the distress he encouraged. I would never do such a thing and in fact i would of immediately stopped the performance and do the responsible thing by informing the audience that I would end the concert right then and there if people continued to push forward killing 8 people. Performers like him need to understand that there are thousands and thousands of people, many whom are intoxicated and will act without considering or having awareness of the danger they present! Your analysis on not only Travis Scott but many of your other videos as well are incredibly interesting and I always learn something new. Thank you:)
You’ve clearly never participated in a mosh pit lol
As someone who attended astroworld, I don’t think that Travis really knew the severity of what was going on. He paused a couple of times to get passed out people help, but he probably should’ve stopped at the ambulance. Honestly, I didn’t even think much about the amount of people passed out, because it looked like the same amount that passed out the last time playboi carti performed in Houston. I think it was just too many people, especially with people breaking in. This has happened every astroworld, and a lot of other rap concerts. I was at nrg for carti on the narcissist tour like 2 weeks before this, and everyone broke the gate and beat up a security guard. Shits crazy
He don't care about nothing but money
You're Spot On!! I feel the exact same way towards this guy's non action during his performance!! He was about the only person who could have deescalated his crowd of fans and his moral responsibility once he realized the tragedy unfolding during those shot 2 min and 3-4 sentences he spoke out to the crowd!! Police would not have any ability to control the crowd and if tried, would have escalated his fans into a full-blown riot due to many ppl who strongly despise the corruption of Police all throughout the US!! So very sad and preventable!! This happening at general admission concerts are not rare actually!! They happened for sure at the many of rock concerts I've attended in the 80s-90s mostly...though no one dies bc the groups performing on stage always stop the show and address their fans on any wrongdoings they see...and remind everyone to take care of others around them!! It's their responsibility to make sure their fans are safe from these sorts of tragedies...unless he's going for the publicity things like this bring them...but, this was WAY out of line n hopefully ENDED his career instead!!
Travis is either an extremely stupid person, or he didn’t care what was happening in front of him. One or the other.
I clicked IMMEDIATELY. Dr.Grande, I was waiting for your analysis above all others I follow. I think we all were.
Thanks for the 'heart'! Big fan
😡🤬It’s a disgusting shame! I hope he is sued out of existence! All of those people shouldn’t have been allowed in there! 🤬😡
😞😭May the victims RIP. Condolences to the victims family. 💝😭
So far out of all the videos this is the best one... I subsribed...
I wouldn’t like to go out that way. Glad the music events I’ve attended allowed me to walk out in one piece.
No gig should ever be this dangerous. I have been in wild mosh pits before and huge gigs and the bands always stopped before it got this bad. Travis knew what he was doing and the incited violence. He kept things going for 75 minutes, that’s insane
Some guy I've never heard of caused a human stampede. Dr. Grande, apparently you are now my source for current events in popular culture.
Same
There it is! I was waiting for your ANALYSIS
This reminds me of a portion of Don Delillo's "Mao II" which describes a historicized soccer game, the Hillsborough Disaster in 1989. Mao II is all about crowds and their effects on our society, and how crowds have shaped our lives and reactions. The individual is essentially lost among the crowds, as the multitudes tend to squash our humaness if not kept in check.
Dr. Todd, your conclusion is spot on. People need to use their brains more often.
Many people are using their brains. They just have really bad brains.
@@JustinTracey Yes, that's true.
“He paused multiple times! It isn’t his fault”
Yes. He paused to acknowledge the danger and then continued knowing the danger. Travis could have used the pause to say the classic mom line…”If you don’t all start acting right, I’m going to shut this concert down!”
He didn’t though because he either doesn’t care, liked the panic and chaos, or he is too stupid to understand how crush’s happen during events. In any of these scenarios I don’t think he should be allowed to perform until the necessary precautions are taken and lessons are learned. He has had many chances to improve the safety of his fans at shows but has instead endangered them time and time again. Now it’s not an issue of bodily harm but of fatality…Completely inexcusable.
There are many tweets in Travis’s defense saying that this is an issue of how popular he is and how many people were in attendance. Wrong. This event was under-attended and hopefully all of his future shows will be too. I have always been a fan of Travis Scott’s music but I won’t support him after this
He should be banned from performing. There's to many incidents of him being disrespectful and asking the crowd to get extremely wild, and disregarding safety concerns.
💯 💯 💯
Every concert this man does someone gets hurt now they are dieing. How many will be killed at his next concert?
I have never heard of this 'artist' before. What happened to those people at the concert is heartbreaking. He clearly doesn't care about his fans, all he and his team are worried about is money. Many performers have stopped their concerts when there has been a chance that things might get out of hand. I cannot believe that any sane performer would continue their show when they see an ambulance in the crowd. I'm disgusted by this person.
Dr. Grande, you are a "GREAT ASSET TO U-TUBE!" My family and I are glad to be subscribers to your "EXCELLENT" channel.
