5 Seconds of Summer's Ashton Irwin sends love to fatherless fans

5 Seconds of Summer drummer Ashton Irwin has paid tribute to those who don't have fathers to call upon.

Father's Day is commonly celebrated around the world on the third Sunday of June and this year was no different.

However, Irwin is reportedly without a dad after his parents separated when he was younger.

This prompted the drummer take to Twitter to say that "father figures" can come from all walks of life - not just your paternal dad.

He said: "So we don't all have dad's like me! :) if someone's a big influence in your life, let them know! Xx.

"Father figures can be all different types of wonderful people! So happy Father's Day (as of 5 minutes ago lol) x."
