5 Seconds of Summer fans are going to be pretty bummed over this news.

The Aussie boy band was forced to cancel their upcoming shows in the U.K. and Japan because bandmate Ashton Irwin is in the hospital after undergoing surgery for a case of appendicitis.

"Hi guys, we have some news for you today. Ashton has come down with a case of appendicitis and had to have an operation. He\'s doing great and will be back up & running in no time, but he\'ll need to rest up for the next week or so," the guys announced on their website today. "Unfortunately this means that we\'ll no longer be able to fly back to the UK this weekend for the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards. We will also be postponing next week\'s trip to Japan (more info to come soon)."

"We are so sorry to everyone that had planned on seeing us," 5SOS added. "We were so excited to come see you all and we never want to make any of you sad… We hope you understand! Thanks so much for supporting all we do, we love you. Can\'t wait for us four lads to get back on the road (minus one band appendix) and rock out with you all again soon!"

The band also apologized on Twitter by writing, "Bad news.. Ash isn\'t well & is in hospital w appendicitis, so we wont be able to travel to the UK for the @BBCR1 Teen Awards this weekend...This means we have to cancel our UK & Japan trips this month so Ash can get better... Can\'t wait to see you all soon."

As for Irwin, he mustered up the strength post-surgery to tweet, "Sup guys! I\'m so sorry too anyone I\'ve let down, I promise we will make it up too ya! I\'ll be better soon, thanks for all the love xx."
