Travis Scott is being slammed by a number of people on Twitter who held him responsible for the deaths and injuries that occurred during the Astroworld festival. Many of them said that while fans were urging him to stop performing after chaos erupted at the concert, Travis kept going, ignoring their pleas.

"#AstroWorld #astroworldfestival People DYING and hundreds screaming for help, whilst Travis continues his set, Kylie continues posting to Insta, and the techs and security staff ignore pleas to stop the concert.

Travis would have seen all this unfold! Talk about caring for fans," one of them said, while another noted, "how are people defending Travis Scott & Drake when they literally kept going while an ambulance is saving multiple people dying and passing out? #ASTROWORLDFest #AstroWorld #ASTROFEST"

With about 50,000 people attending the sold-out event, Houston Fire Chief Sam Peña during a news conference early Saturday morning, described it as a "mass casualty" incident which was largely triggered when the crowd began "to compress toward the front of the stage" just after 9 pm, local time. This sparked panic, and started causing some injuries. "We had scores of individuals that were injured," Peña said. "People began to fall out, become unconscious and it created additional panic."

Very sad. Someone even ran up on stage begging him to stop. Bizarre.

Explain it to me in real words.

Someone I never heard of gave a concert?
Lots of people were there?
Some people died because so many people were there ?

Is that it?
