Hutchison died in May when he took his own life following a battle with depression. In the wake of his death, his brother called for more government action to be taken to help prevent suicide.

Speaking to NME last month, Death Cab For Cutie’s Ben Gibbard paid tribute to the musician. “We’ve lost a giant,” he said. “He was such an amazing writer and such an amazing human being. I think it’s been really wonderful to see in the tributes to him how much wider his music had gone than I’d ever really known. This music was as important to these people as it was to me.”

Meanwhile, Frightened Rabbit recently announced their first live performance since Hutchison’s death. They will perform a special show at Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Bandstand on December 9 as part of the Scotland-wide ‘Sleep In The Park‘ event.

The series aims to raise around £6 million to help combat homelessness and is set to be attended by 12,000 people. You can sign up for it here.
