5SOS’s Michael Reveals Ashton Passed Out After Recent Gig: “He smashed his head”

Australian hitmakers 5 Seconds Of Summer recently travelled to Mexico for a few concerts and the band admitted that one of the shows was particularly tough because member Ashton Irwin fainted after playing drums for an hour. 

When asked if they have any tour horror stories by Channel [V], guitarist Michael Clifford offered up the story about the time when drummer Irwin passed out unexpectedly: 

"Just recently, two days ago, Ashton actually passed out after the main set. We did the main set and went to the encore, we all walked off for the encore and I'm strumming my guitar... then Ashton just... pfft."

Calum Hood then added that the air condition where they were performing was bad, which contributed to Irwin's fainting because it was hard to breathe in the venue: "We were in Mexico and the air is really thin and its, like, 32 degrees inside this tiny room."

Heartthrob Irwin confessed that exhaustion also played a part in him not feeling well at all: "I was pretty exhausted and I hit the deck, and then smashed my head."
