5SOS: Luke Hemmings says his solo career happened by mistake

Luke Hemmings is set to drop his debut solo album on Friday. 'Stumbled into it': 5 Seconds of Summer singer Luke Hemmings, 25, told the Autumn/Winter edition of Rollacaster magazine his solo career happened almost by mistake 'I think at the start of writing it was less intense topics, and then once I broke the seal I was more comfortable writing about harder things, and going through family history,' he explained. New direction: 'I started writing songs on my own and trying to push myself in that way, and then I stumbled into it being a separate project,' he told Rollacoaster Introvert: Luke said being in lockdown had inspired him to 'decipher the last 10 years of my life' 'I'm sure a lot of people can relate to that, not even from a touring standpoint, but I feel like everyone had to take stock of their lives and be like, "Am I happy doing this?" Luke's solo album comes after the ARIA Award-winning singer recently proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Sierra Deaton.
