CNN
Organizers for the Day N Music Festival announced late Monday rapper Travis Scott will no longer perform at this weekend's event in Las Vegas following the deadly crowd surge at Houston's Astroworld Festival.
The latest development comes as investigators turn their attention to the causes of death for eight attendees after a surge of people rushed toward the stage during Scott's set. The deadly conditions have prompted a growing number of lawsuits on behalf of concertgoers.
Investigators are working to ascertain all possible causes of death, and injuries to scores of concertgoers, including whether a batch of counterfeit pills possibly laced with fentanyl played a role, according to The Wall Street Journal citing people familiar with the investigation. CNN is reaching out to authorities for comment regarding The Wall Street Journal's reporting.
