Kanye West dedicated his latest Sunday Service to the victims of the Astroworld disaster. The “Jesus Walks” star’s Christian gathering returned on November 7, which was live-streamed on platforms including YouTube, and it paid tribute to the eight people who died and the hundreds left injured in a stampede during Travis Scott’s set at his music festival in Houston, Texas, on Friday.
Before the gospel choir performed live, a message read: “Sunday Service dedication to the loved ones of Astroworld”. Travis has been left “absolutely devastated” by the tragedy.
Travis – who has a three-year-old daughter called Stormi with Kylie Jenner – was on stage when the crowd surge took place, and he later expressed his support for the families on social media.
In a statement posted on his Twitter account, the 30-year-old hip-hop star said: “I’m absolutely devastated by what took place last night. My prayers go out to the families and all those impacted by what happened at Astroworld Festival.
