Ashton Fletcher Irwin, born July 7th, 1994, is the drummer and singer for 5 Seconds of Summer.
Ashton joined the band after Luke, Calum and Michael decided they needed a drummer. In December 2011 Michael inboxed Ashton on Facebook asking if he wanted to play a gig in front of 200 people, which ended up being about 12 people. Ashton thought, wow that's a lot of people and agreed. After the show was played, Calum, Michael and Luke had a discussion to whether or not they wanted to ask Ashton to be in the band. Thankfully they all agreed to ask him, as to where Calum actually got down on one knee and "proposed" to Ashton to be in the band. Ashton agreed and started joining the boys on posting their covers on YouTube.
