A 14 and 16-year-old are among eight people who died at a Texas music festival as the crowd surged toward the stage during a performance by rapper Travis Scott.

The tragedy unfolded on Friday at Astroworld, a two-day event in Houston, Texas, with an estimated 50,000 people in attendance - the second day of the festival has been cancelled.

When Scott emerged on stage, the crowd pushed forward and people started to get crushed.
