Travis Scott planning to offer Astroworld Festival refunds

US rapper Travis Scott is reportedly planning to issue a full refund to all festival-goers of Astroworld 2021, after eight people were killed during a crowd surge at the Houston event.

Scott has also cancelled his forthcoming appearance at the Day N Vegas festival due to be held this weekend, as the rapper is “too distraught to play”.

Drake, who appeared alongside Scott at the event, issued a statement on the tragedy saying: “My heart is broken for families and friends of those who lost their lives and for anyone who’s suffering.”
