Around 50,000 people were in attendance at the annual event at NRG Park, hosted by HOUSTON native TRAVIS SCOTT. The festival, in its third year, kicked off FRIDAY and was expected to be a two-day event, but officials cancelled SATURDAY&#8217;s lineup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HOUSTON Fire Chief SAMUEL PE\u00d1A said, &#8220;The events unfolded FRIDAY at around 9:15p (CT) when the crowd began to compress toward the front of the stage. That caused some panic, and it started causing some injuries.People began to fall out, become unconscious, and it created additional panic.&#8221; He added that the cause of death was not yet known for the eight victims but would be determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TRAVIS SCOTT said in a TWEET, &#8220;My prayers go out to the families and all those impacted by what happened at ASTROWORLD FESTIVAL.
