5 Seconds Of Summer had to cut their show short on Sunday night (6-26) after drummer Ashton Irwin fell ill in the middle of the concert.
Irwin needed to be hospitalized, and the band later explained that he had suffered from “extreme heat exhaustion.” Most of the band's upcoming concerts have been canceled while one has only been postponed.
The band played for about 45 minutes in Houston, Texas before the show came to an abrupt end. Irwin left the stage and his bandmates followed. At the time they gave very few details but the band eventually explained that Irwin had been hospitalized and that the tickets would be refunded for that particular show.
Irwin later posted, “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.”
5 Seconds Of Summer will perform in Rogers, Arkansas on July 26 and have canceled the remaining stops on the North American leg of their tour.
