Scott paid tribute to the eight victims as he broke his silence on Saturday.

In an Instagram clip, he said: "My fans really mean the world to me and I always wanna leave them with a positive experience and anytime I can make out anything that’s going on, I stop the show and help them get the help they need, you know."

He added that he's working with the proper authorities and urged concert-goers to do the same.

Travis ended the story by saying he was "devastated" over what transpired and reiterated that he could "never imagine anything like this happening."

"I’m gonna do everything I can to keep you guys updated and keep you guys informed on what’s going on."

Rapper Drake said his heart is broken and he’s “grieving” following the crush.

In an Instagram post, he said: "I've spent the past few days trying to wrap my mind around the devastating tragedy.

"I hate resorting to this platform to express and emotion as delicate as grief but this is where I find myself."

'HEART IS BROKEN'

Drake continued: "My heart is broken for the family and friends of those who lost their lives and for anyone who is suffering.

"I will continue to pray for all of them, and will be of service in any way I can."

The post concluded: "May God be with you all."

Officials in Texas said the crowd began to "compress towards the front of the stage" at around 9:15 pm on Friday, sparking panic.

Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña said a "mass casualty incident" was triggered at 9:38 pm and investigations are ongoing.

Sick trolls have sent cruel death threats to Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner's daughter Stormi following the incident.
