Frightened Rabbit’s Scott Hutchison Reported Missing

Scott Hutchison, longtime frontman for the Scottish indie rock band Frightened Rabbit, has been reported missing. The BBC reports that Hutchison's family has reported him missing. He was last seen around 1AM last night, Scottish time, leaving the Dakota Hotel in the Scottish town of South Queensferry. He's believed to be in Edinburgh right now.

On Twitter, the band has appealed to fans, and to Hutchison himself, to help locate Hutchison. The band writes that they're "worried about" Hutchinson and that Hutchison "may be in a fragile state and may not be making the best decisions for himself right now."

Graeme Dignan, an inspector with the Scottish police, tells the BBC, "We are keen to locate Scott as soon as possible to ensure he is safe and well and would urge anyone who can assist with our ongoing inquiries to come forward." He also urges Hutchison to get in touch with police or with his family.

Hutchison's brother and Frightened Rabbit bandmate Grant has posted on Instagram about Scott, asking for any help in locating him:

Has anyone seen my brother/bandmate/best friend? He’s in a very fragile state and has been missing since last night and we’re all incredibly worried. He was in a hotel in South Queensferry and hasn’t been seen or heard from since 1am. Please repost and share and get in touch if you have any info. His phone is with the police. If somehow you are reading this Scott then can you just let someone know you’re safe please? We love you very much x
