Losing Scott to depression and ultimately suicide is something I will never comprehend. Even reading back that sentence still seems unreal in a way. Look after yourself and when you can’t, let others look after you because there’s always someone who cares

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).
We have no news to report on Scott’s whereabouts this morning. Your support so far has been incredible and all we ask is you keep him in your thoughts, keep an eye out and keep sharing his picture online. Thanks for everything. Your kindness and positivity is keeping us going G
Scott was a fucking genius. It’s weird being on this side of the record for probably the first time in my life. Listening all the way through and trying to just take it in. What a songwriter. The Midnight Organ Fight was his record.
If you see this Scott, please call this confidential number (116 000) to talk to someone. We just want you to feel better and safe and fully understand if you need time to yourself right now. We are worried and we love you so so much.
This is what we think Scott would want people to see and say on his birthday. Spread it far and wide and remember it applies to how you treat yourself and not just others. Happy Birthday Scott. We miss you. G, A, B & S x
Matt Haig hitting the nail on the head as usual. It’s important not to define people by the way they died. Scott died from depression. I get that there’s more of a story but you wouldn’t define a cancer victim’s life by what happened at the end so why suicide?
What a lovely idea. A group of folks have got together to raise money to put a bench somewhere in Glasgow in memory of Scott. Any extra money will go to a charity or other projects in his name x
Scott’s Bench, a place to meet, sing, gather your thoughts and celebrate the amazing love for Scott. Have a read, retweet, share or help out however you can❤️

Results and allegiances aside, what happened tonight on BBC One Scotland before one of the biggest matches of the footballing year was massive. Players, managers and my brother talking about mental health openly and honestly. Bravo

Try and go a whole day without listening to a song that was sung by a black artist, was produced by a black artist, features a black artist or was inspired by a black artist. Your day will be silent and worse off for trying.
#blacklivesmatter
I can’t explain the love I have for the people in this band. We did so much growing up together and nothing will ever separate James and Scott. Two of the greatest artists I’ve known.

We've made the decision to cancel The First Incident on June 1st. Some people have said that they'd like to donate their ticket cost to charity. If this is something you'd like to do we would ask that you donate to

My heart is breaking reading about the Mackintosh building and the ABC in Glasgow. There aren’t enough words to describe the admiration for the ridiculously brave and heroic firefighters of Scotland who do this on a daily basis. Glasgow is hurting but will recover x
Had a quick chat with Radio Clyde yesterday about Scott and my thoughts and feelings on mental health. Still wading through this day by day but talking helps for sure. G x
Sunday May 10th
6pm (Scottish Summer Time)
In memory of Scott, we’ll be listening to The Midnight Organ Fight by Frightened Rabbit
No tweets from me, no insights. Just the songs. Join us.

For anyone else seeing this, please share this and any other images of Scott you feel may be useful in the search. Feel free to print these and hand them out and pass them round your local area.

The response we’ve had to the books we left in
@kingtuts
for Scott has been incredible. We are going to have them bound so they will be in Tuts until Monday if you still want to go have a read or write a message. Thank you so much. FR x
We're delighted to be joined by members of the late Scott Hutchison's family at Tynecastle this afternoon. We'll be playing
@FRabbits
version of the Hearts song in his honour roughly 20 minutes before kick-off ♥️
And so it has arrived. 2023. And just like that our fourth album, Pedestrian Verse turns 10 years old. This has always been the album we were most proud of as a band. It was written collectively and I think was the best and most mature example of Scott’s songwriting.
Listen. Talk. Learn. I would love to be there as I still have so much to learn about mental health issues. If you feel the same head on down. I’m sure it’ll be a great event.
Still can’t believe this is happening. Scott would find this whole thing hilarious! Watching him play at the opening of the new stand at Tynecastle Park was a great moment. Watching his bafflement at Gary Locke chatting to our table before the game was almost better.
Maybe the most amazing
@_Bands_FC
thing ever.

Hello everyone
In 2017 we were approached by filmmaker William Miller about making a documentary about Frightened Rabbit, and specifically The Midnight Organ Fight, with the plan of releasing something during the ten year anniversary celebrations in 2018. Obviously this plan...
Thank you so much to heartofmidlothianfc for the tribute to Scott at Tynecastle Park today. I bawled my eyes out. Apparently Lafferty scored but I reckon someone else had something to do…
The Winter of Mixed Drinks, now 10 years old, is a cocktail of emotions for us. Perhaps through it we will all find a little lightness to help us through one of the darkest winters.
Pick up this book of words, hold it, share it and immerse yourself in the world Scott created by opening not only his heart but his whole soul to the world – FR X
This is fucking important. Apparently it’s good practice to avoid politics on here but it’s also good to avoid letting people die. You can do this by thinking again about who you vote for next time.

Spoke to my beautiful friend last night - a lung doctor in the nhs. She said, while its a lovely gesture, instead of just clapping please could you just never ever vote conservative again.
Remember when we used to use an ironing board for a keyboard stand and got kicked out a festival after drinking cans of wine?! Good times. We miss you Owl John x
Pre-order “Tiny Changes” now. It will come out 12 July and you’ll be able to listen to two covers of “The Modern Leper” by
@BiffyClyro
and
@julienrbaker
straight away!
For those unable to make it to Rough Trade NYC back in December we wanted to make this rough recording of the show available for all to hear. Feel free to listen here or download for free here .
I paid tribute to Scott Hutchison in Parliament, and praised his family for setting up mental health charity
@TinyChanges3
.
I also asked if we can have a parliamentary debate on young people's mental health - a growing issue that deserves more attention.
#MakeTinyChanges
We’re so honoured to be able to share these versions done by amazing friends. Scott’s songs have connected with so many over the years and he was fundamental in the process of this, it’s a delight to see this record out in the world. Set You Freeeeeeeee!
Hello everybody! Just a quick note to say we probably still won’t be posting too much on here since there’s not much to say but we’re putting some photos up on our Instagram of Scott’s illustrations and times past. If that’s your thing then head over for a look X
If you are in the business of profiting from other people’s pain and death without trying to help then you are a disgusting piece of shit. This is not your image so please have this taken down.
Two of the greatest people. Always pushing each other to be better than the last song even when it shouldn’t have been possible. Also you cunts drank all our rider at Connect where this photo was taken.

to Scotland’s homelessness problem. Yes it was only one night and yes people had nice warm sleeping bags and…
Scott spent most of the night at a party at Billy’s house one night writing people cheques. Andy never cashed his. Probably should have though. All the love for

Thanks to
@Miss___Swan
for helping keep my brother so close to my heart. I’m going to need him with me for
@belladrumfest
this weekend. Hot house stage at 10pm for the festival’s tribute…
I don’t really have the words to describe what this band mean to me both as musicians and as people. IT WON/T BE LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME is fucking stunning and a sentiment we can all see…
Last weekend I went to see my favourite band play in one of my favourite venues. I didn’t take any pictures because I just wanted to experience it there and then without a phone in front…
So
@TheRyanAdams
gets to be a cunt to us in private and then apologises publicly and everything is ok?! Cool. Sounds about right to me. I tried to reach out but we are still blocked. Thanks man.
Michael is making prints of his mural of Scott available with profits going to samhscotland Link to buy in his/FR bio x

Are we ready? I’m going to listen for the first time since standing in a tent at Belladrum in 2018 next to Billy. That was a beautiful tribute so let’s make this the same. See you on the other side.

enamel pins go on sale! There are only 490 available in Europe and 490 in the US. All profits will go to a charity to be set up in Scott's memory. Limited to 4 per person at £5/€6 and similar $ price!
@JamTarts
The piano you hear on ExtraSuperVery was recorded in the Mitchell Library. We used to sneak in with a 24 track in a rucksack and cover the window on the door in case anyone caught us. That and Bright Pink Bookmark were not re-recorded with the rest.
After finding a lot of joy and positivity in putting together a book of Scott’s lyrics, we always felt there was room for a companion project of Scott’s visual art that could go alongside it. Living In Colour: The Art of Scott Hutchison will be released on 13th July 2023.
Excited doesn’t cover it! Thank you so much again to

We would like to present to you 'The Midnight Organ Fight' Tartan. The design for this tartan started around the same time as we were pulling together tracks for the anniversary record 'Tiny Changes'.
Long time coming... but the repress of TMOF vinyl is now available for pre-order: .
Next year marks its 10th year in the world and there will be a few more surprises to mark the birthday in due course, but for now here is the album as it always has been.
Frightened Rabbit (
@FRabbits

£5 (or currency equivalent) and can be shipped worldwide.
Only 1,000 will ever be made. Individually numbered. All proceeds to the charity the band are setting up in Scott’s memory
The thought of having people like
@steadycraig
and Ben Gibbard talking about what Frightened Rabbit means to them on a film about one of our records is pretty mind blowing.
