Astroworld organizers said in a previous statement, “Our hearts are with the Astroworld Festival family tonight — especially those we lost and their loved ones. 

“We are focused on supporting local officials however we can. With that in mind, the festival will no longer be held on Saturday,” organizers continued, “As authorities mentioned in their press conference earlier, they are looking into the series of cardiac arrests that took place. If you have any relevant information on this, please reach out to Houston Police.
