Money won't bring them back, but I'd like to think it knocked some sense into him.
If those who suffered injuries win some compensation, maybe TS will rethink his past actions ?

As you mention with Pink & Lady Gaga, musicians with a heart stop the show temporarily and call attention to the problem to get it fixed!!
I've been to an incredible amount of concerts in this lifetime, many many many, and every GOOD band or musician I have ever seen cares deeply for their crowd and their fans. By good, I mean both well-meaning and well-performing.
i'm trying to remember... but some shows I've been at where pauses were caused
by the band to help concert-goers include the killers, george strait, 21 pilots, kenny chesney, 3rd eye blind, counting crows, panic at the disco, and bowling for soup. some of these artists i have seen more than once and have been impressed by their level of care and concern toward their fans in attendance, and most of these musicians stayed after the show to meet people and sign things too and idk how they do it!! i'd be sooo exhausted and over it.
the enjoyment level of the crowd is what makes a concert fun for the band to play, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do it every night, night after night after night, for a whole tour, let alone multiple tours over decades+ as many do. i have seen a couple more "hardcore" bands and was
not super impressed with how the band/crew approached crowd safety. imagine watching people literally knock eachother out to get ahead just to be blocked again by some girl's boyfriend carrying her on his shoulders... of course moshing exists but it can be done respectfully (believe it or not it can! i personally despise moshing and don't understand it but some folks really do love it and even make friends doing it) but i bet the attendees weren't expecting anything even remotely in the same galaxy as what ended up happening on this tragic evening.
not only was the massacre a tragedy but now it's becoming a travesty of justice too because TS is responsible as well as his "festival organizers" (i put this in quotes because WHAT were they even thinking... have you seen the amt of people they expected to show, versus the set up of this so-called festival?!) for the show itself. however, he is trying to deny any and all blame.
the same way alec baldwin and the young armorer have trial for the death of that brilliant woman on set (i'm so sorry, her name is russian and it is escaping me at this moment) so should TS and said "organizers" face justice for their crimes. instead, all that is going on is that
a judge is considering dismissing him from the lawsuit after recently dismissing drake from it.

Ten people died after being crushed in an over-capacity crowd that surged to the stage during a Travis Scott performance at the 2021 Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas.

Travis Scott's legal team argued his limited role and lack of involvement in safety plans as hearings determine his status in the AstroWorld lawsuit, while controversies surrounding the festival's oversold layout and safety concerns intensify ahead of the impending trial.

Drake, who was still performing with Scott after the Houston Police Department declared a mass-casualty event, was on Wednesday dismissed from a
class-action lawsuit after his lawyers argued he was not part of festival planning and was not responsible for any decisions made around security or crowd control.

all of that said, i do not think any of this has knocked sense into TS. he's busy selling
sneakers.
