Meltdown festival will today host a mental health panel in place of the scheduled set by Frightened Rabbit, whose frontperson Scott Hutchison died last month in an apparent suicide. Clinical psychologist Jay Watts will moderate the talk with Throwing Muses’ Kristin Hersh, Placebo’s Stefan Olsdal, musician and poet Dizraeli, and Christine Brown of music charity Help Musicians UK, the Guardian reports.

oh man, this isn't going to stop hurting any time soon

 

That's an amazing initiative.

 

Nope. For me there's some kind of reminder every day. I had a total breakdown when my dog (who has a new interest in destruction) got a hold of my Frightened Rabbit/Manchester Orchestra/Grouplove split last week. I wasn't even mad, I went straight to tears.

 

this is why I had to sell my Frabbit records. it's too fucking much. hope you're ok.

 

Thanks, it survived okay. Thankfully it had a plastic sleeve over it that he focused his tearing and chewing on, and the cover and record made it relatively unscathed. In that moment though as he was pawing at the shelves to take one all I could think was "anything but Scott!".
