5SOS: ‘Being away from home and not having a normal life is so hard’

Australian pop-punkers 5 Seconds Of Summer are currently on their Sounds Live Feels Live world tour and member Luke Hemmings has revealed that while it sounds like a dream come true, it’s often hard to be away from loved ones for long periods of time.

Speaking to Young Post recently, the heartthrob explained that he struggles with homesickness:

“Probably just being away from home a lot. Not really having a life. Just travelling every day, and working. There’s gotta be some struggle that comes with it. But I had a great time the other day.”

Hemmings went onto add that he also makes sure that he tries to retain a sense of normalcy when he’s on the road and will do ordinary things such as get coffee and lunch with the other lads and their tour crew as well as enjoying new experiences:

“I was in Venice (a neighbourhood in Los Angeles, in the US), and I went surfing. And then I drank coffee, and ate great food. It was with (5SOS producer) John Feldmann. I think it’s really important to do things outside the regular things you do. Being outside of tour buses and hotels really opens my eyes to the world.”
