Frightened Rabbit have canceled a few of their upcoming shows so that the band can focus on lead singer, Scott Hutchinson, recovering from what he’s described as a combination of “alcohol, depression and social media.”

I'll keep this short & to the point there's no real need to go into great detail. I had a bit of a meltdown on Saturday for various reasons

Some of you may have witnessed it, some of you may not have and some of you may not really care, but I said some regretful things on Twitter

I'd like to attempt to set it straight. Sometimes when life goes awry the reaction is to destroy & say "fuck it all"

Unfortunately that's what I did. In spite of this, it's not the end of FR and in the sober light of day, I didn't believe the things I said.

In case you were in any doubt, it's a terrible idea.

For now, the priority is recovery, so regretfully we have decided to cancel our appearances at Haldern and Rock Am See.

Sometimes there are more important things than playing shows and we wouldn't be pulling out if we didn't think it was necessary.

That's about the size of it. If it all seems like horrendous attention-seeking behaviour, well... you might just be right.

But I sought entirely the wrong attention. If you're suffering, turn to your friends and family. Call someone, anyone.

And stay the fuck away from the internet.

Bye for now. S.
