Police searching for missing Frightened Rabbit singer Scott Hutchison have found a body.

Police Scotland made the discovery at Port Edgar near South Queensferry at 8.30pm on Thursday.

Formal identification has yet to take place, but the family of Mr Hutchison have been informed.

The frontman's brother talked Wednesday of his "incredible worry" as police continued to search for him.

Scott Hutchison, 36, has not been seen since leaving the Dakota Hotel in South Queensferry in Scotland at 1am on Wednesday in a "very fragile state".

It emerged the lead singer left the hotel without his phone and his brother Grant, who plays drums in the Scottish indie band, updated fans Thursday morning by saying: "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 picture online. Thanks for everything. Your kindness and positivity is keeping us going."

He signed off the message on Twitter with his initial, and it came after an Instagram post yesterday pleading for help.

In it, he said: "Has anyone seen my brother/bandmate/best friend? He’s in a very fragile state and has been missing since last night and we’re all incredibly worried.
