Dior has "indefinitely" postponed its fashion collaboration with rapper Travis Scott in light of the tragic events at Astroworld festival, according to WWD.

In a statement issued to WWD's Obi Anyanwu on Tuesday, the luxury fashion house said that Cactus Jack, its summer 2022 capsule collection, would not launch in January as planned.

"Out of respect for everyone affected by the tragic events at Astroworld, Dior has decided to postpone indefinitely the launch of products from the Cactus Jack collaboration originally intended to be included in its summer 2022 collection," the company said in the statement.

WWD added that representatives for Scott confirmed on Tuesday that the cancelation was "mutually decided."

According to Dior's website, the Texas-inspired collection, named after Scott's record label, Cactus Jack, was a collaboration between the 29-year-old Texan rapper and Dior Men's artistic director Kim Jones, 48. The website adds that the fashion line, which was previewed online on June 25, was "inspired by Dior's deep-rooted connection to this American state."

As Insider previously reported, Astroworld festival — Scott's annual music event in Houston — took a tragic turn on its first night on November 5 when a crowd surge led to the deaths of 10 attendees. An excess of 50,000 people gathered at NRG Park, leaving hundreds injured.

Scott tweeted on November 6: "I'm absolutely devastated by what took place last night. My prayers go out to the families and all those impacted by what happened at Astroworld Festival."

He added that Houston Police Department had his "total support" for their investigation into the tragedy, which WWD reports is still ongoing. The musician's tweet added that he wanted to work with the local community to "heal and support" affected families.

Business Insider previously reported that a US House of Representatives committee is launching a bipartisan investigation into Astroworld, which began with a letter to Michael Rapino, Live Nation's CEO and president, requesting information about the event's safety.

The committee members wrote: "We are deeply saddened by the deaths that occurred at Astroworld Festival and are committed to investigating what went wrong to inform possible reforms that could prevent future tragedies."

Representatives for Dior and Travis Scott did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
