Ashton Irwin, one of the members of 5 Seconds of Summer, is having his birthday on Sunday.

He’s now 20 years old.

Fans wished him well on the day via Twitter.

The term, “#HappyBirthdayAshtonIrwin,” was trending on Twitter for some time.

“We have watched him grow, into the guy he is today! We love you Ashton!” one person wrote.

Added another, “Happy Birthday to one of the most beautiful human beings inside and out.”

Said another, “Happy Birthday to one of my heros, I love you so much Ashton. Enjoy this day&dont spend it cryin over being 20.”

His band will be touring the United Kingdom and Europe starting in 2015, it was announced.

“HI! were TOURING UK, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium & France nxt year!” the group said late last week.

They will visit Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium, reported Billboard.

All of this is to partially promote the group’s debut album, which will be out on July 22.

“We are Really happy ... we are gonna make the best show possible for you guys next year ... we promise!” the band tweeted.

The group is currently touring with One Direction in Europe until July. They'll come to North America with One Direction starting in late August.

The pop-punk band has also insisted they’re not very rock‘n’roll, according to TV3.

“What’s the point of throwing a TV out the window if SpongeBob Squarepants could be on and we could be watching it? Or Geordie Shore? What a waste,” guitarist Michael Clifford said. ‘‘I think it’s disrespectful to trash hotel rooms. The most rock and roll thing about us is how we sound.’’

He said of their pre-show activities: “‘We brush our teeth, listen to some music - either heavy metal or some savage R ’n‘ B. We like to jump around to get all pumped up. We don’t really have after-parties either. We’re so busy, we barely get time to sleep. We nap whenever we can - we’re always tired. We like go-karting a lot too.’'b
