8 Nov., 2021: Travis Scott Says He'll Cover the Funeral Expenses of Astroworld Victims

In addition to refunding all concertgoers who purchased tickets for the original two-day scheduled music festival, Scott issued a press release saying he will pay for the funeral expenses of the eight victims. He also announced a partnership with BetterHelp to provide free online sessions with a licensed therapist for the anyone affected by the tragedy and cancelled his performance at the Day N Vegas festival, saying he is "too distraught to play."

In a statement to POPSUGAR, Live Nation said, "We continue to support and assist local authorities in their ongoing investigation so that both the fans who attended and their families can get the answers they want and deserve, and we will address all legal matters at the appropriate time."

In a separate statement on Twitter, ScoreMore shared an update on "the steps ScoreMore, Live Nation, and the Astroworld Fest team have been taking" since the tragedy. "We have been working to provide local authorities with everything they need from us in order to complete their investigation and get everyone the answers they are lookin for," the statement said. ScoreMore also said they've met with local authorities to provide information and CCTV footage from the event and are "working on ways to support attendees, the families of victims, and staff, from providing mental health counselling to setting up a health fund to help with costs for medical expenses."

As of 8 Nov., more than a dozen lawsuits have been filed against Scott and Astroworld organisers.
