Fears for missing singer of Frightened Rabbit

The lead singer of indie rock band Frightened Rabbit has been reported missing hours after telling his fans to hug their loved ones.

Police Scotland issued an urgent appeal for information to help trace Scott Hutchison, 36, last seen at the Dakota Hotel in South Queensferry at around 1am on Wednesday.

Three hours before he was last seen, Hutchison tweeted: “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.”

Minutes later, he tweeted: “I’m away now. Thanks.”
