What may have happened to cause him to be taken to the hospital in the midst of his show?

In the middle of his Texas performance, 5 Seconds of Summer’s drummer Ashton Irwin was taken to the hospital after developing migraine and stroke-like symptoms from heat exhaustion.

Ashton needed to be taken to the hospital while the band was 45 minutes into their performance on Sunday night, according to Page Six. This worried the audience, which the band later addressed on social media.

In a Monday Instagram Stories post, the band wrote the following statement: “Last night’s show ended early due to a medical incident during the show. Upon experiencing physical symptoms, Ashton was taken to a local hospital for the tests and medical review.”

“Thankfully and most importantly, [Ashton] is feeling OK and recovering very well. We apologize to all the fans in attendance for the show being cut short.”

The artist himself also addressed the worrisome occurrence on Twitter, stating, “I suffered from an intense migraine brought on by exhaustion and overheating onstage which made me loose my vision and gave me symptoms of stroke in the left side of my body. So the decision was to end the show there and then.”

“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,” he continued in a subsequent tweet, adding that he broke down in tears in the ambulance, feeling as though he had let many people down, but he is now taking care of himself and getting rest.

“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. All will be made right, ticketing wise, and rescheduling wise. I love you. Thanks for the love. I’ll be back onstage ASAP! X.”

Later, the band published a second statement informing fans that medical advice has forced them to cancel their Tuesday night performance in Arkansas. Due to a change in the original schedule, the final show of the North American TMH tour will be on July 26 in Rogers, Arkansas.

“We are so sorry to cause inconvenience to your plans, but we promise for those of you who can still make it, we will put on the show of your lives. ❤️”
