Uh oh, this was some jarring news to wake up to! 5 Seconds of Summer member Ashton Irwinwas rushed to the hospital for a case of appendicitis.
The 5SOS member will have to undergo surgery. We’re just thankful it’s nothing super serious. While Ashton will have to take some time to rest and recover, he’ll be back on his feet shortly, performing with his bandmates in no time. Unfortunately, this means they had to cancel their appearance at the BBC 1 Radio Teen Awards, and postpone a few of their shows in Japan.
5 Seconds of Summer released a statement on their website saying
Hi guys, we have some news for you today. Ashton has come down with a case of appendicitis and had to have an operation. He’s doing great and will be back up & running in no time, but he’ll need to rest up for the next week or so… Unfortunately this means that we’ll no longer be able to fly back to the UK this weekend for the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards. We will also be postponing next week’s trip to Japan (more info to come soon).
We are so sorry to everyone that had planned on seeing us. We were so excited to come see you all and we never want to make any of you sad… We hope you understand!
Thanks so much for supporting all we do, we love you. Can’t wait for us four lads to get back on the road (minus one band appendix) and rock out with you all again soon!
Ash, Cal, Mikey & Luke x
We’re just glad to know that he’ll be getting better. And it’s awesome that they have such a great sense of humor about all of this - love these guys!
