A statement from lawyer Howard Hershenhorn detailed how the victim, Kyle Green feels about the Astroworld tragedy to Fox News.
Mr Hershenhorn explained: "[Kyle] was so upset and saddened by this horrible human tragedy.”
"He was even angry because this all could’ve been prevented if Travis Scott had learned his lessons from the past, which unfortunately he did not.”
“And so the sadness has been mixed with a great deal of anger because Kyle is fully familiar with Travis’ past escapades. Travis could have avoided this senseless tragedy."
