The family of 14-year-old Astroworld victim John Hilgert filed a lawsuit against Travis Scott and his music production company on Wednesday demanding change to the music industry, as well as damages.

“No one should die going to a concert,” Mithoff said in a statement.

The Hilgert are asking for changes to be made in the way concerts are organized, including security requirements, available medical facilities, and the elimination of poorly designed general admission seating instead of assigned seats. “The pain of our loss from our son John not making it home alive from an event such as this is intolerable,” Chris Hilgert said in a statement. “He was a beautiful young man who simply wanted to enjoy his first concert event with friends, whom he treasured spending time with more than anything else.”

He added, “This pain should never be felt by anyone over a loved one attending a live concert. Our sole aim in filing this lawsuit is to prevent this type of tragedy from ever happening again at a live concert. There is no excuse for the poor crowd design, event execution and lack of response that was exercised at this festival that resulted in the tragic death of our son and nine others along with scores of other people that were innocently injured.

trvisXX was on drugs. No sober person (especially one with a child) could look out in that crowd and proceed like everything is fine🙄 he is a narcissist his ego is fueled by seeing fans clamoring to be close to him. Meanwhile, his meet& greets are done in single file lines 🙄😏

Often lawsuits filed this quickly are as much about your own guilt as they are holding people responsible. If your 14 year olds first concert is….Astroworld and not one supervised with you, you feel irresponsible, and you should.

Travis Scott is evil
