Your support makes all the difference.Scottish band Frightened Rabbit have said there is "no news to report" as to the whereabouts of their missing singer Scott Hutchison, but have thanked fans for their ongoing support.
The 36-year-old was reported missing by his family and was last seen at the Dakota Hotel in south Queensferry, Edinburgh, at around 1am on Wednesday 9 May, with concern growing for his welfare.
Frightened Rabbit tweeted they were "worried" about him and said he may be in "a fragile state and... not making the best decisions for himself right now".
This morning they posted another tweet which said: "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 pictures online. Thanks for everything. Your kindness and positivity is keeping us going."
Hutchison was last active on social media at around 11pm on Tuesday 8 May, when he wrote: "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."
Inspector Graeme Dignan said: "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 enquiries 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."
Hutchison is described as white, 6ft tall with stocky build, dark hair and a thick beard. He was last seen wearing a dark baseball cap, navy hooded jacket, grey or khaki trousers and white trainers.
