Marillion Frontman Disappears Before Reunion Tour—Band Left Stunned and Fans in Panic!
In a shocking turn of events just days before the launch of their highly anticipated reunion tour, legendary British rock band Marillion has confirmed that their frontman Steve Hogarth has gone missing.
The announcement was made late last night via the band’s official social media channels, sparking immediate concern among fans worldwide. The post read: “We regret to inform you that Steve Hogarth has not been in contact with the band or his family since early Sunday morning. We are working closely with authorities and ask for privacy and support during this deeply concerning time.”
The disappearance comes as a massive blow to the band, who were gearing up for their first major tour in over a decade, with dates scheduled across the UK, Europe, and North America. The “Seasons Return” tour was expected to be a career-defining celebration, reuniting original and current members for the first time since the 1980s.
Steve Hogarth, 65, known to fans as “h,” joined Marillion in 1989 and helped lead the band through a remarkable evolution following the departure of original vocalist Fish. The band saw renewed popularity with albums such as Brave, Marbles, and An Hour Before It’s Dark, earning them a devoted cult following and critical acclaim.
According to sources close to the band, Hogarth was last seen leaving his London flat early Sunday morning. CCTV footage from a nearby shop shows him walking alone and appearing visibly distressed. There were no signs of foul play at the scene, and his phone has reportedly been turned off since then.
“This is completely out of character,” said longtime friend and bassist Pete Trewavas in a brief statement. “Steve was excited about the tour and in good spirits during rehearsals last week. We’re all in shock.”
Fans have taken to social media to express their concern and support, using the hashtag #FindHogarth to share messages of hope and photos. A candlelight vigil is being planned in Aylesbury, the band’s spiritual home, for later this week.
Authorities have launched a formal missing persons investigation, and anyone with information is urged to contact the Metropolitan Police.
As of now, the future of the reunion tour remains uncertain. Promoters have not issued a statement regarding cancellations or postponements, and the band has said it will make a decision in the coming days based on developments.
For now, fans and bandmates alike are holding their breath—and hoping for the safe return of their beloved frontman.
