Scott Hutchison, the lead singer of Frightened Rabbit, has been reported missing in Scotland.

Police in Edinburgh are seeking information regarding the whereabouts of Frightened Rabbit lead singer Scott Hutchison.

The 36-year-old from Dennistoun in Glasgow was last seen in the Dakota Hotel in South Queensferry, before he left the accommodation at 1am on Wednesday morning.

Concern for the frontman’s whereabouts grew after he tweeted, ‘I’m away now. Thanks.’ on Tuesday night.

Police in Scotland released this CCTV image of Hutchison leaving the hotel in the early hours of the morning.

A statement from the Frightened Rabbit Twitter account said: “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.”

A police spokesperson issued the following statement: “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.”

Frightened Rabbit have released five albums, with Scott recently hinting that a sixth would be released later this year.
