5 Seconds of Summer abruptly ends its show after drummer falls ill onstage

Pop band 5 Seconds of Summer had to cut its performance short Sunday when drummer Ashton Irwin fell victim to "extreme heat exhaustion."

The Australian band was performing at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, an outdoor venue in the Woodlands, Texas. After a few songs, the drummer was escorted off the stage and taken to a hospital to be treated for heat exhaustion, according to 5SOS's Instagram story.

"As you may have heard, last night's show ended early due to a medical incident during the show," the statement read. "Upon experiencing physical symptoms, Ashton was taken to a local hospital for test results and medical review. As a result, it was advised Ashton had experienced extreme heat exhaustion."
