Travis Scott — Family Of 9-Year-Old Boy Who Died At Astroworld Festival Want To ‘Continue The Process Of Healing’ After Settling Lawsuit w/ Rapper & LiveNation: ‘Never Forgetting’

“The family is happy to resolve its claim against all defendants following the death of their son, Ezra. They look forward to continuing the process of healing and never forgetting.”

The case was scheduled to go to trial in September. Now, that slot could go to an injury lawsuit that was filed after the festival.

Ezra Blount attended the Houston concert with his father on the fateful day. He was on his dad’s shoulders when the mob formed and people violently pushed and shoved one another. His dad passed out and when he regained consciousness, Ezra Blount was nowhere around. His family later found him in a medically-induced coma at Texas Children’s Hospital. His family made the tough decision to pull him from life support a few days later. He died of compression asphyxia, and his death was ruled an accident.

His family was one of nearly a dozen who filed a lawsuit after the unthinkable deaths. In the complaint, they alleged that Ezra Blount was “kicked, stepped on, and trampled, and nearly crushed to death,” causing him to have serious organ damage.
