Michael Clifford of 5 Seconds of Summer to join Joel Madden on Ep. 113 of Artist Friendly
More Artist Friendly is on the way. Following conversations with Sam Carter of Architects, Morray, and G-Eazy, Michael Clifford of 5 Seconds of Summer will join Joel Madden on the latest episode of the series.
Clifford is best known as 5SOS’ lead guitarist and backing vocalist with vibrant hair, helping to shape the band through his energetic presence. He’s also been unafraid to acknowledge his struggles with mental health, telling us that “it gets bad before it gets better” and using the feeling to fuel his songwriting. As the years passed, members have branched out with solo music while holding the band close — and now Clifford will release his debut solo single, “cool,” through his new home Hopeless Records (out tomorrow, April 2). In a conversation with Madden, he dives into fatherhood, his long career, and the humanness of songwriting.
