5SOS star Luke Hemmings on Kerrang! award: "We can’t be more grateful for this"

5 Seconds of Summer frontman Luke Hemmings has revealed his gratitude after the band picked up a gong at this year's Kerrang! Awards.

The band bagged the Best International Newcomer prize at the London ceremony last night (June 12) after a fan vote.

It seems to have pleased Hemmings, who said: "It is a real honour for us. All of our idols are in this magazine.

“We can’t be more grateful for this, it means a lot to us.”

The night was soured somewhat, however, after the Australians were booed when collecting their award.

5 Seconds of Summer meanwhile recently recorded a cover of 'American Idiot' for a Green Day tribute CD given away by the magazine.
