5SOS Drummer Ashton Irwin Had Stroke Symptoms Mid-Show Had To Be Carried Off Stage

Ashton Irwin, the drummer of 5 Seconds Of Summer (5SOS), was hospitalised in the U.S. after he was reportedly carried off stage mid-show with stroke symptoms. 5SOS had to abandon their show in Houston, Texas on Sunday night U.S. time after Ashton was suddenly struck with a severe migraine and symptoms of stroke on the left side of his body. He overheated on stage and had to be taken to hospital for treatment where he found out he was experiencing an extreme case of heat exhaustion.

It’s always amazing to play a massive energetic show in every environment thrown at us. Unfortunately this time my body gave out due to heat exhaustion. I was in tears in the ambulance, because I feel I’ve let many people down. I’m looking after myself and getting rest now.
