Yet more proof Luke Hemmings is dating Arzaylea

A couple of weeks ago, we were left feeling personally victimised by Luke Hemmings\' facial hair, when he unveiled a luscious, full, voluminous and velvety man beard which had arrived on his already very fit face.

A bit like you\'d sprinkle flowers over a well kept flowerbed, his always-lovely jawline was now adorned with a carpet of super soft, perfectly angled beard, and it really was a thing of joy.

But unfortunately, the 5SOS fandom was struck by tragedy on tragedy this weekend, and after battling the emotions of new girlfriend rumours and dealing with the stress of Michael\'s car incident, Luke stepped out and confirmed the loss his beloved chin hair.

Instead of the rugged and manly face fluff which we\'ve all grown so fond of, he\'s now been left with a beautiful baby face, and while we\'re obviously enjoying that side of things too, we thought it was only fair to give the beard the send off it deserves.

RIP Hemmings beard. We miss you more and more every day.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today - far and wide across the internet, probably armed with snacks and smelling a bit weird after a busy day - to celebrate the life and times of the beard of Luke Hemmings. Anyone who knew Luke\'s beard personally will know that never has facial hair had such a monumental effect on a fandom before. Never have so many wished they could caress the soft bristles of a young man\'s face. Never has a beard been so universally loved and admired – always the sign of true beauty, inside and out. We\'ll never forget the way it sat on Luke\'s face, minding its own business and quietly making his face look ten times hotter. Or the way it would always make our day a little bit brighter, whenever we needed comfort. It made the world a better place, and today the world is in mourning. In the name of the pizza, the Spongebob and the holy Oprah, we\'ll never forget you. Rest in peace, dear Hemmings beard, let\'s all remember you as you would have wanted to be remembered.
