Frightened Rabbit’s Scott Hutchison reported missing
Scott Hutchison, frontman of Scottish indie rock group Frightened Rabbit, has been reported missing. The BBC reports that he was last seen at 1 a.m. at the Dakota Hotel in South Queensferry, Scotland. He is believed to have been headed toward Edinburgh, where police are gathering information on his whereabouts.
Before leaving South Queensferry, Hutchison posted a couple of tweets that left his friends, family and bandmates concerned about his welfare, including the message, “I’m away now, thanks”:
Be so good to everyone you love. It’s not a given. I’m so annoyed that it’s not. I didn’t live by that standard and it kills me. Please, hug your loved ones.

Afterward, the band made their own appeal for more information on Hutchison’s whereabouts:
We are worried about Scott, who has been missing for a little while now. He may be in a fragile state and may not be making the best decisions for himself right now. Please could Scott or anyone with any information on his whereabouts please contact Police Scotland (101).

Inspector Graeme Dignan said to 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. If you believe you have seen him since the early hours of Wednesday morning or know where he currently is, then please contact police immediately. I’d also urge Scott to get in touch with family, friends or with police, to let us know he is alright.”
Hutchison is said to be wearing a dark baseball cap, navy blue hooded jacket, grey or khaki trousers and white trainers.
