There’s no way he didn’t know what was happening. People were literally screaming and climbing up on stage screaming. He could clearly see the outrage, the disaster that was happening in front of him. He and his team. There’s videos of him telling everyone to go harder. Innocent people lost their life’s and it could have been prevented.
I dont think Travis or Kylie knew the extent of what was happening at the time. To be fair he stopped several times when he saw anyone in distress, I seen these vids on twitter earlier, he stops the music and calls security and points out where the help was needed. From his viewpoint on the stage with big lights on him you cant see and hear everything that's going on. He has done massive arena tours and this astroworld festival has took place every year so he is well accustomed to massive crowds and people fainting/security and emt's attending to people being carried over the railings is par for the course for big events but not to the extent of what happened last night, I just dont think he realised how bad this was. I dont think anyone would carry on if they knew that was going on in the crowd and the fact that he stopped when he did see stuff going on shows this.
As for Kylie she blatantly didnt have a clue wtf was going on from the vip box and posted it online not knowing, as soon as she did know she removed the post but is now getting slated for it, it doesn't matter what she does she will get the brunt of shite thrown at her. It's this cancel culture, it's out of hand now. Get angry at the people who clearly let too many people in, who clearly did not manage this event safely not the guy on the stage who had no clue what was going on, hold the right people accountable.
Im sure he feels like tit today that this happened at his concert, and will probably now be hit with multiple lawsuits. I dont know too much about him but dont think he would of carried on or cheered if he knew multiple people had died from being trampled on, like why would you? Make it make sense people, folk love to get angry these days instead of thinking logically.
If you don't know much about him look up how he has behaved multiple times in the past at his concerts and the culture he breeds at shows. He has also been convicted in the past for inciting a riot at a concert - its a miracle no one had died before this. He encourages this happening and actually uses it in his marketing - look at the clip where he stops a show completely when his shoe is taken after crowd surfing - he tells the crowd to beat up the person who takes it (a minor).
To say its an example of canel culture getting out of hand is ridiculous. This isn't dragging up a tweet he made when he was 14 - 8 people have died and many more seriously injured. Travis could have and should have stopped the show properly until he knew all was okay. He didn't, stopping for a few minutes is not sufficient enough time. Its not uncommon for shows to be stopped like this, I remember seeing the prodidgy and they stopped their show to check a situation at the front, he kept going for 30 mins.
Ive seen the videos of the guy and girl asking the man on stage to stop the concert, that wasnt Travis, he was on stage performing he didnt see or hear any of that. It's clearly not his fault but of course everyone needs someone to blame. How is it his fault that the crowd got out of hand and trampled people? It just wasnt! Who was in charge of crowd control? Monitoring the crowd? Security? Health and safety? Or is that the performers job? I think they are supposed to get on the stage and perform and leave that up to the people employed to handle that, I think it's ridiculous placing the blame on him, he clearly stopped when he saw himself someone needed help so why would he on purpose like you lot say carry on when you say he could see people getting crushed to death? I dont think he did! That's all im saying! I dont think he knew that was going on. Ambulances at these events are common, hell there was one at a 5ive concert I was at when I was a teenager, girls were fainting and being pulled over the barrier left right and centre, the girls were pushing forward as soon as the group took to the stage, 5ive carried on performing cause it's pretty common! Sure look at Michael Jackson concerts in the 80s, he only had to lift his hand up and people fainted! The difference being there seems to of been not enough medical assistance and this Travis concert, too many people let in, no crowd control or adequate security. That seems like the responsibility of I think Live nation who laid on the concert, you cant expect the person on stage to do the job everyone else was supposed to be doing.
Also mosh pits are standard at his concerts, and also many other concerts for decades and alot of people injured from mosh pits are crowd surfed out of the pit over the barriers, if that's common place at these concerts it's highly likely people assumed thT just all it was and not a mass casualty incident where people were being crushed to death.....?
He did stop the show, several times and made sure the person he had seen who need help got it, only after did he continue, not once did anyone tell him there was mass casualties when he had to stopped the show. He is clearly on video, stopped the music, sent the medics and security to the injured person and asked the crowd to back up and give them space. Why would he do that if he was an awful person who didnt care about the crowd?

Your whole argue falls on its head. The first sentence you say he carried on after the person was fully rescued by medics and security.He did kill the music and stopped until he saw that the person was safely in the hands of security and medics. Look im not gonna sit an argue all day about, it's just my opinion and that is yours, im just taking the emotion out of it and looking at it logically, he couldn't of known the extent of what was happening. He has to take responsibility for encouraging mosh pits etc but plenty of bands do that. People were climbing on ambulances stopping them doing there jobs, people were stood watching on instead of helping, alot is wrong with people of today, people can be dying and they would rather record on there phone than help, the whole thing shows how backwards people have become. Nobody takes personal responsibility for anything anymore it's always someone else's fault. The majority of that crowd didn't give a tit about anyone, the people crying for help were ignored, the guy and girl climbing the stage telling the dude to stop the show, ignored! It's all a total tit show I get it, but im just saying Travis couldnt of known the extent of that, he sees people being carried out at his concerts all the time, many artists do, but they dont think it would ever amount to what happend that night surely. The Houston PD and Fire rubber stamped this concert, a concert where there was only 1 defib, not enough stretchers or emts, it was dangerous from the start, there will be lawsuits left right and centre but I cant see how the dude on stage is responsible just my IMO.

Im honestly so bewildered by your opinion that he has no blame.
He is performing, he sees people fainting but continued to sing before security got to them (there is a video) and does nothing. Videos again of him hearing people telling him to stop and him claiming "people knew what they came for". Also videos of him noticing an ambulance in the MIDDLE of the crowd but continuing. Any artist would have stopped to check what was going on not repeatedly continue performing. But he in the past has encouraged fans to beat up audience members, jump off high risers (which lead to a child being paralysed) and storm the stage.
I encourage you to see the video of I think it's Linkin Park doing the round on twitter. Mosh Pits are a part of rock and metal music culture and very common at gigs. Those guys stop the show when they saw 1 person fall over - just 1. Immediately tell the audience to pick them up and encourage them to pick anyone who falls over up - this is not a mosh pit problem and it is extremely offensive to suggest it is.
Also these people were not dying in mosh pits that got out of hand - they were dying because the concert was overcrowded. The concert was overcrowded because Travis encourage people (in a now deleted tweet - deleted in the aftermath of this event) to storm the show. He told people when the tickets sold out that there was always space for true ragers. Houston rubber stamped the concert with the initial capacity - he encouraged people to storm the show, they did and they didn't shut down the festival and continued.
He is not solely to blame but he is as far from blameless as you can get.
