The Vamps send support to 5 Seconds of Summer's Ashton Irwin after illness

The Vamps sent their love to 5 Seconds of Summer drummer Ashton Irwin after he fell ill.

The Australian was recently taken to hospital after falling foul of appendicitis.

The group were forced into cancelling some shows - including a slot at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards on Sunday (October 19) in London.

The Vamps performed at the ceremony and they sent their support to Irwin, who was recuperating in Australia.

Brad Simpson told EntertainmentWise at the awards: "It's very sad to hear about Ashton, we heard earlier and hopefully he gets well soon.

"It would've been nice to see them, they're a great band."

The Vamps meanwhile won three prizes at the Teen Awards - Best British Single ('Last Night'), Best British Group and Best British Breakthrough.
