Travis Scott’s London O2 appearances marked his first London arena show after a fatal stampede killed 10 people at his Astroworld festival appearance last year.
His last concert was not without incident when a spectator threw a heavy object onto the stage, but Travis missed.
Travis seemed irritated by the disruption to his set, but he kept rapping and refused to let the disruption knock him off his horse.
Support: The rapper was supported at the gigs by his girlfriend Kylie Jenner and their daughter Stormi. The couple also have a son together, Wolf, whom they welcomed this February
The rapper was supported at the gigs by his girlfriend Kylie Jenner and their daughter Stormi. The couple also have a son together, Wolf, whom they welcomed this February.
In November, while Kylie was pregnant with her son, she attended Travis’ Astroworld festival concert, which resulted in a fatal collision of bodies.
The death toll from the tragic incident rose to 10 when a nine-year-old boy named Ezra Blount succumbed to his injuries.
Travis largely retired from the spotlight after Astroworld, and plans for him to perform at Coachella this year were scrapped.
