The aftermath of the mass stampede at Travis Scott‘s Astroworld Festival is revealing the true extent of the horror that took place at the Houston-based music show.

What’s more, it’s now emerged that the youngest person to die was just 14-years-old.

After issuing a written statement expressing devastation, Scott has released a video echoing similar sentiments.
