Eight people are dead and 'hundreds' more injured after a crush and stampede at famed rapper Travis Scott's (left) Astroworld Festival in Texas. The rest of the festival has now been scrapped after revelers surged towards the stage on Friday just after 9pm while Travis Scott was performing at Houston's NRG Park. Disturbing video from the concert showed people lying unconscious in the middle of the crowd (middle) as officers and emergency personnel performed CPR while others were seen begging concert staff for help. Scott's pregnant girlfriend Kylie Jenner (pictured inset before concert) shared a video (right bottom) panning the audience to her Instagram story, which showed an emergency vehicle trying to make its way through the crowd. Seventeen people were taken to hospitals, with 11 of those in cardiac arrest, out of a crowd of 50,000. The two-day event was sold out after being cancelled last year due to Covid. Hours before the deadly crush, at 2pm, hundreds of revelers - who did not appear to have tickets - stormed the event's VIP entrance around yet the stampede did not appear to be related to the surge.
