After having to cut their Texas show short due to health concerns for their drummer, 5SOS are looking to reschedule remaining shows.
Currently on tour, Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) were forced to cut their Texas show short when their drummer, Ashton Irwin, suffered from pain in his left side and vision loss.
The band have also rescheduled their upcoming show in Arkansas for July 26th. Though loathe to leave their fans waiting, their bandmates health comes first.
"I feel so loved and looked after by my brothers and team and all of you. This is the price a dehydrated drummer pays when he takes on Texas heat," the Sydney-born musician tweeted
