Scott from Frightened Rabbit has gone missing

DiscoStu

Scott Hutchison, singer/guitarist with Frightened Rabbit, has gone missing. His bandmates have said he might be in a 'fragile state' which is worrying. Always seemed liked a nice guy to me, I saw them a few years ago and he was very chatty and funny and spoke to everyone after the gig.
I hope he's ok.

I hope so. That is worrying .

One of the young bands I do a bit of work for know him, I think.

Mmm I read this earlier, and wondered if any of our Scottish members knew him. 

Let's hope he turns up safe and well.

Hope he turns up safe and well, if anyone on here does know him, sending best wishes to you.

Really hope he's ok. Met him last year with my son and chatted for a good five minutes after an acoustic gig he did, lovely chap.

Midnight Organ Fight is a stunning record and we had it on repeat on the trek up to Glasgow last weekend. I've done a fair bit of playing with Jim from Mastersystem over the years and was furious when I found out he'd been recording with Scott literally down the street but didn't tell me.

Don't have any information that isn't already out there but obviously everyone's pretty concerned and from the information released things aren't looking good. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Not good news - it seems a body has been found. Was hoping against hope he would return safe.

darthed1981

I saw that news as well

ICBM

I feared so given the location and time he went missing and that he left his phone behind.

DiscoStu

Sad news.

Pretty much, Family has been contacted.

Sad that someone who was so open about their mental health still could not be helped

+1 it's sad especially as he was open about it.

Apparantly his suicide draws from a song he penned 10 years on the back of a relationship break up.

Yes - the lyrics are hard to listen to now
