Travis Scott fans beg him to return to Coachella line up after Astroworld deaths saw him drop out

Travis Scott fans are petitioning for the singing to return to next year's Coachella after he dropped out of this year's line up following the Astroworld tragedy in which 10 people died and hundreds more were injured.

Fans of the rapper, 30, are pushing for him to headline next year's event and the petition is gaining a lot of traction.

Internet users are signing in their droves to try to make Travis a guaranteed performer next year as a headline act or as a guest of Kanye West at this year's showing.

The petition received almost 70,000 signatures in its first three days.

It read: "After Coachella unfairly removed Travis Scott for Harry Styles, they need to do the right thing and rebook him immediately."

Travis is also absolved of any wrongdoing in the eyes of the petition's creator who wrote: "We all know Astroworld tragedy wasn't Travis's fault. Let him get back to performing on the biggest stages!"

However, despite the early interest, there still remains an active petition to have Travis banned from the festival for good.

That request was set up immediately in the aftermath of Astroworld and currently has over 63,000 signatures.

Travis, who is the father of Kylie Jenner's children, pulled out of a number of festivals following the horrific scenes at the Astroworld concert in Texas in November.

The star said in December that he had no idea fans were dying during his gig as he gave his first interview about the tragic incident.

Speaking on radio personality Charlamagne Tha God's YouTube channel, he said: "I didn’t know the exact details until minutes before the press conference [after my set].

"And even at that moment you’re like, 'Wait, what?'

"People pass out, things happen at concerts, but something like that…"

He went on to explain that he stopped the show a couple of times to make sure everyone was OK.

"It’s so crazy because I’m that artist too — anytime you can hear something like that, you want to stop the show.

Travis and Kanye's bromance has continued despite 'Ye's split from Kim Kardashian - Kylie Jenner's sister.

The Gold Digger rapper thanked the star earlier in the month for giving him the location for daughter Chicago's birthday party.

He had previously claimed that his estranged wife Kim didn't tell him where the four-year-old's party was taking place.

After telling fans he hadn't been allowed to attend as "games were being played" he went on Instagram to tell fans he made it in the end.

He said: "I just got to shout out to Travis Scott for sending me the address and the time and making sure that I was able to spend that birthday memory with my daughter to be there with the rest of the family."
