U.S. lawmakers are launching a probe into the role of events promoting company Live Nation Entertainment at rapper Travis Scott's concert at the Astroworld Festival in Houston last month, in which 10 people died in a stampede.

U.S. Representative Carolyn Maloney, the Chairwoman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, and Representatives James Comer, Kevin Brady, Al Green, and Bill Pascrell Jr. sent a letter to Live Nation President Michael Rapino for information regarding the events of the Astroworld Festival on November 5, the Congressional committee said.
