Travis Scott And Drake Perform Dangerous Manoeuvres At An Event In The United States.
Key Sentence:
- American rapper Travis Scott faces one lawsuit after at least eight people were killed and hundreds injured in an attack at the Astroworld festival in Texas.
- An early concertgoer accused Scott and surprise artist Drake of inciting the audience and demanded $1 million (£741,000) in damages.
Neither of them commented on the lawsuit. In a statement following the lubrication, Scott said he was working to help the victims' families - the youngest just 14 years old. Meanwhile, social networks pay tribute to the deceased.
"Dancing is her passion, and now she is dancing on the pearly gates of heaven," the family of 16-year-old Brianna Rodriguez said in a statement. The ascent began at around 9:15 p.m. local time (Saturday 14:15 GMT) on Friday when panic broke out as the crowd surged onto the stage during Scott's title.

Lucas Nakarati told BBC Radio 5 Live that within three minutes of the rapper taking the stage, he was "almost certain that the people [died]."
"You can't move, you can't scratch your face, [it's tight," he said. The death toll is rapidly surpassing those providing first aid on the ground, officials said. In addition, about 300 people were treated for injuries such as cuts and bruises.
Police in the city of Houston, Texas, has opened an investigation, including investigating individual reports of a person publicly injecting drugs into people. Several concertgoers had to be renewed with anti-drug drugs, including a security guard who, according to police, appeared to have a needle mark on his neck.
What does the complaint say?
The lawsuit by 23-year-old Christian Paredes accuses Scott and Drake of "inciting riots and violence," alleging that entertainment and entertainment company Live Nation failed to provide adequate security and medical services.
Court, compensation of 1 million. "Many of the security guards hired by Live Nation Entertainment have been neglected," he added. Paredes is said to have suffered "serious injuries."
Scott, Live Nation, and concert promoter Score more are also listed in another $1 million lawsuits against Manuel Souza. Souza was described as having "serious bodily injuries" when a rowdy crowd knocked him to the ground and trampled him at a concert.
