SCOTT HUTCHISON, vocalist and guitarist of Glasgow-based indie rock band Frightened Rabbit, had openly struggled with depression for many years and his death at the age of 36 on May 10 devastated the Scottish music scene.
Tributes immediately flooded in from local musicians within the close-knit Glaswegian music community and well-known figures such as Stuart Murdoch of Belle and Sebastian and Nicola Sturgeon.
Beyond Scotland, fans from all over the world paid homage to a singer-songwriter who will be remembered not only for his talent but also for his compassion, humility and frank approach to mental health.
