5SOS's Ashton Irwin on Zayn's 1D exit: 'I'd be devastated if someone left our band'

Heartthrob Ashton Irwin, of 5 Seconds Of Summer fame, has revealed that he feels for the remaining members of One Direction now that Zayn Malik has left the group because he would be really upset and hurt if one of his own bandmates made a similar choice. 

During a recent interview with MTV News, the reporter brought up Malik's untimely departure from One Direction and 5SOS drummer Ashton Irwin confessed that he would be broken-hearted if one of his band members decided to quit:

"I heard about that and I was at rehearsal and I was looking at these dudes and, man, I’d be devastated if someone left our band, you know? I can’t imagine how the other dudes feel. And I wish him all the best. I hope… if that’s a choice he wanted to make, you know? I hope everything goes well."

When asked if they have any advice for 1D now that they're a fourpiece, Irwin added that they have been in the business longer than they have so they can't think of anything constructive or wise to offer: “We have no advice for them! They’ve been doing it longer than us, so they’ve got it worked out.”
