Speaking candidly about the tragedy, Scott expressed deep remorse and acknowledged the profound impact on the victims’ families and witnesses. He reflected on the event, constantly contemplating how it could have been handled differently, stating, “I always think about it. Those fans were like my family. You know, I love my fans to the utmost… You just feel for those people. And their families.”
In the interview, Scott discussed the song “My Eyes” on his upcoming album, Utopia, revealing that it addresses the emotions he experienced during the Astroworld incident. Contrary to perceptions that he doesn’t care, Scott emphasized his genuine concern and pain. “I want them to know I have pain too. I have concerns, things that I think about, and the things I see on a day-to-day basis I think about them. And every day I want to find change in the things, to make things better, make myself better. It’s just like: I go through things like everyone else. And even recently through something like I never could imagine.”
