Travis Scott and Live Nation are still nowhere near in the clear for their contributions to the ASTROWORLD tragedy. While it seems some fans have pushed it to the wayside, others are nowhere close to getting past it. Ten concertgoers tragically lost their lives back in November of 2021 in Houston. Subsequently, all of those families filed wrongful death lawsuits against the mega star rapper. As of late May of this year, they have been settled.
Nine-year-old Ezra Blount was the last of the victims to receive some sort of conclusion. The trial for this lawsuit was supposed to happen in September, but both sides were able to come to an agreement months in advance. However, it wasn't just wrongful death suits. Hundreds of personal injury claims were also filed against Travis Scott and the event's organizer, Live Nation. Trial for two bellwether plaintiffs, Angel Dominguez and Elizabeth Martinez was originally set for today, October 22.
Live Nation Still Has A Long Way To Go
However, Live Nation is working ahead of schedule, according to The Dallas Morning News (via XXL). Yesterday, October 21, they settled both Dominguez and Martinez's lawsuits, which equates to 100 plaintiffs. There is a third on the way from Henry Nguyen, however, his trial is currently being rescheduled. Because of this and the sheer number of lawsuits still pending, Dominguez and Martinez's cases were classified as bellwether. It essentially means that they were "practice runs" to prepare for what's to be expected to be a grueling few months at least for Live Nation and Scott going forward.
