Fans were beyond devastated when Zayn Malik left One Direction. So when another boy band heartthrob, in the form of 5 Seconds of Summer's Calum Hood, sends a message with a hint of doing the same thing, fans can't help but panic and freak out.
Latin Post reported that the 19-year-old singer sent a mysterious tweet that seemed to foreshadow his potential departure from the boy band. "One day I will leave and live a normal life," he tweeted.
Though the popular bassist deleted this tweet right away, it was already too late for many of his followers and fans who read and became worried over it. Besides, in the same way did Malik first stated his intentions of parting with One Direction as to enjoy his time away from the limelight and experience being 'normal,' Hollywood Life said.
The 5 Seconds of Summer fandom were then quick to do some sort of damage control by creating the "#WeLoveCalum" trend on Twitter. Calum was also tagged with a lot of photos uploaded by the fans who even shared some stories about him on their accounts.
For his part, Hood did exert effort to calm the fans down. After deleting the intriguing tweet, he posted a photo of what looked like a happy goat along with a smiley emoji and caption saying, "This happy goat is making me feel so happy about everything."
With this, it looks like the bassist's tweet was just due to his exhaustion as the band is busy doing promotions and tours. Hood did tell Sugarscape before how hard it is to handle the worldwide fame that also goes with the long hours of touring in which, his co-member Michael Clifford finds difficult too.
"Ashton and Luke really like traveling, but Michael's always pretty happy at home. We're all away so much that sometimes just being in one place for a while is the best thing," he said.
However, the band is said to be going to South America and Asia next summer, which Hood thinks is awesome. Hopefully this is what the singer needs in order to think things through before making any bold move.
