Ashton Irwin issues statement after hospitalization
Ashton Irwin took to his Twitter account and posted a series of Tweets and revealed the possible reason for his health issues. Here is what he wrote:
“It’s always amazing to play a massive energetic show in every environment thrown at us. Unfortunately this time my body gave out due to heat exhaustion. I was in tears in the ambulance, because I feel I’ve let many people down. I’m looking after myself and getting rest now.”
“I feel so loved and looked after by my brothers and team and all of you. this is the price a dehydrated drummer pays when he takes on Texas heat. All will be made right, ticketing wise, and rescheduling wise. I love you. Thanks for the love. I’ll be back onstage ASAP! X”
“I suffered from an intense migraine brought on by exhaustion and overheating onstage which made me loose my vision and gave me symptoms of stroke in the left side of my body. So the decision was to end the show there and then.”

The group is currently on their North American tour, which was postponed from 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. 5 Seconds of Summer is also gearing up to release their fifth studio album, 5SOS5, in September. “Me, Myself, and I” and the previously released singles, “Complete Mess” and “Take My Hand” are on the 19-song bill.
We wish a speedy recovery for Ashton Irwin.
