Travis Scott has also canceled his headlining performance at Day N Vegas festival in Las Vegas on November 13, due to being 'too distraught to play,' per 'Variety' sources.

Variety . The 30-year-old rapper has also canceled an upcoming performance in Las Vegas, where he was scheduled to headline the Day N Vegas festivalon Saturday (November 13). Variety sources say Travis is too distraught to play in the aftermath of the tragic events that unfolded at his own festival at Houstons NRG Park last week. At least eight people died, ranging from ages 14 to 27, and hundreds more were injured during Travis Scotts headlining set on Friday night after portions of the approximately 50,000-strong crowd surged to the front of the stage. Accounts from concert-goers detail horrific scenes of people being crushed, trampled on and falling unconscious. A post shared by HipHopDX (@hiphopdx) Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner confirmed 25 people were transferred to local hospitals from the venue, while around 300 people were treated on the festival grounds at a makeshift treatment facility. In a more sinister twist to the still-developing story, the Houston Police Department confirmed a security guard was injected with some kind of drugwhile attempting to restrain a concert-goer during the chaos. Emergency personnel were able to revive the security guard after administering Narcan, a prescription medicine used to treat opioid overdoses. However, investigators have yet to piece together a complete picture of the events that resulted in eight fatalities and hundreds more casualties. Nothing is off the table in terms of persons who were there, people who fainted, people who were transported, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said. As far as a crowd surge, all of those things are being looked at. Its way too early to draw any conclusions. Read more
