www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-44055054Those at the London shows may have caught Scott from Frightened Rabbit doing an awesome support set. Worryingly Scott has been reported missing. Sending out good thoughts for a positive outcome. Hope you are ok Scott

So sad. An incredible songwriter and performer. Anyone that knows Frightened Rabbit know that he's battled with suicide before, but it doesn't make this any less heartbreaking.
RIP Scott. You made changes to Earth.

Wow, so sad. Had a random chat with him outside the Electric Ballroom just after he'd been refused entry at the front door and told to use the back door. Seemed like a lovely bloke.
His supporting set was great.
RIP

Was reading the last messages he posted. So very sad for people battling mental distress to get to the point where this seems like the only viable option.
RIP

Ughh what a gut punch. Have had the Frightened Rabbit/Craig Finn version of Dont Go Breaking My Heart blasting it out in tribute. A big big loss

Oh no
This has been beyond sad. The sort of helpless empathetic sad one feels when you feel like you know someone is strong enough to pull themselves out of something time and again yet for some reason this time they don’t.
RIP Scott, always made time for your music.
Listened to Pedestrian Verse into BaGiA just now. Sure the parallels on Stations are as poignant now as they were when CF wrote it about John Berryman. Heartbreaking.

Incredibly sad news. I was only a casual fan of his music, but I loved his set supporting THS in March. And I know how much his music means to many people here, so this was the first place I thought of coming when I read the news. I'm sure the fans' love and support will mean a lot to Scott's family, friends, and band mates, but I'd also like to send out some love to everyone here, losing a musical hero can be painful in its own way. If you've been affected by Scott's death, or suffer from a mental illness, I hope you have people you can turn to for support. If nothing else, I know that the community here will listen.
Feels like a good time to say this: stay positive, folks.

Stringer - that is a lovely article.
So sad about Scott - seeing him in London to open for THS was a privilege. A pint glass half full of whisky, baseball cap and playing some wonderful FR songs acoustically - including a few by request.
Frightened rabbit - special band. Scott - a very special talent. love their song, "Lick of paint" at present, but can't seem to stop playing FR.
We are going to Halifax for father john misty next weekend, where FR were due to play - they will be terribly missed, but there will be a tribute to Scott.
