5 Seconds of Summer Guitarist Michael Clifford Suffers Burns in Accident

5 Seconds of Summer guitarist Michael Clifford took "face melting" to a whole new level on Saturday night when his hair caught fire in a pyrotechnics accident at Wembley Arena. Despite the horrible guitar-based joke we just made, Clifford is doing well according to social media reports.

"If I obviously don't want to have my picture taken right now please don't take my picture :)" he tweeted. "See everyone tomorrow!!"

Clifford's hair caught on fire from the onstage special effects and he quickly ran to smother the flame with a towel. Rumors suggest that bassist Calum Hood also took some heat, however escaped with minimal damage.

Considering how lightly the band has taken the accident, we don't feel too bad for pointing out how comical Clifford looks in the photo he posted on Instagram, with the left-half of his face bandaged up, looking like a Phantom of The Opera knockoff. He was giving a thumbs up in the photo and he clearly meant it: The band will continue on and play its third consecutive Wembley sellout show Sunday night, as scheduled. Will Clifford be wearing bandages? We certainly hope so.
