Scott Hutchison, the lead singer and guitarist of Scottish indie rock band Frightened Rabbit, has gone missing, and family and friends are worried about his "fragile state".

Hutchison, 36, was last seen leaving a hotel in South Queensferry, Scotland, round 1am on Wednesday.

According to the BBC, he is currently believed to be in Edinburgh.

Police in Scotland has launched a search and ask anyone with information to get in touch.

On Twitter, the band said they 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," the band members added.

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).

Shortly before his disappearance, Hutchison posted two tweets that raise concerns about his wellbeing.

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.
