5SOS Five Seconds Of Fire

Michael Clifford Tweets "I'm OK"
Founder and Publisher. Based in Brisbane.
Howard launched 'Scene Magazine' in 1993. Paul Keating was Prime Minister. Whitney, Janet and Mariah all had Aussie #1s and Mark Zuckerberg was 9. Over 30 years he's overseen the growth of scenestr to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative in the mid-naughties. Social media remains a complete mystery to him. He's been spotted at raves, hip hop concerts, Motown revivals, judged battle of the bands, shot video for opening night and national awards red carpet, partnered with music industry showcases, comedy festivals and myriad other cultural productions ... and he interviewed Eddie Izzard. He likes Star Trek and a good Oxford comma — way too much fun at parties.

A pyrotechnics display has backfired for 5 Seconds Of Summer as Michael Clifford was scorched while performing on stage at Wembley in London.


The incident proved to be the end of the gig, which was at encore stage, meaning fans of the Sydney rock/ poppers weren't in danger of being denied a date with their heroes. Yesterday, Dave Grohl confirmed his 'leg end' status when he broke his leg in just the second song of a performance in Sweden, only to have his leg set backstage before returning to finish his gig.

Ashton Irwin informed the crowd “Michael has hurt himself so we will not be continuing the show right now. “Just want to say thank you so much for coming. He is OK. You guys have been the best crowd we could ask for tonight. Thank you so much.” A fan loaded a video of the announcement to Twitter.


Clifford has since taken to Twitter to reassure fans he is doing OK.

The band is expected to meet their Australian schedule of dates kicking off in Brisbane on 23rd June.
