Overview
- Scott told Rolling Stone he wants to support Houston’s recovery from the 2021 festival disaster but says any outreach must be welcomed, not imposed.
- He said the tragedy left a distorted public view of who he is and pledged to show his character through consistent actions.
- Ten people died and thousands were injured in a crowd crush during Scott’s headlining set at NRG Park on November 5, 2021.
- An investigation found safety alerts raised by staff did not reach decision-makers and the crisis plan lacked procedures for crowd surges.
- A Harris County grand jury declined to charge Scott in June 2023, and the remaining wrongful-death cases were settled in May 2024 with terms kept confidential.
