Nearly 2,400 people required medical treatment following last year's deadly Astroworld music festival in Houston, according to a new court filing.

Attorneys representing thousands of people suing promoter Live Nation, headliner Travis Scott and dozens of other companies over the tragedy said in a court document filed this week that 732 claimants sustained an injury requiring"extensive medical treatment" during the concert on Nov. 5, 2021. Another 1,649 claimants suffered an injury requiring"less extensive medical treatment," according to the filing, which does not define the injury categories.

Hundreds of lawsuits filed against the event organizers, managers and performers in the wake of the tragedy were consolidated and are being handled by one judge. Asked if he feels responsible for the tragedy, Scott said,"I have a responsibility to figure out what happened here. I have a responsibility to figure out the solution."
