• Steve Hogarth Reported Missing After Failing to Arrive for Marillion Rehearsal

In a deeply troubling development, Steve Hogarth, the longtime lead vocalist of progressive rock band Marillion, has been reported missing after failing to appear at a scheduled rehearsal session in London on Friday evening. The news was confirmed by the band’s management early this morning, sparking concern among fans and fellow musicians alike.

According to sources close to the band, Hogarth, 65, was last seen leaving his Cambridge residence on Thursday afternoon. He was expected at Marillion’s private studio by 6:00 p.m. the next day but never arrived. Repeated attempts to contact him by phone and email went unanswered, prompting band members to alert authorities.

“This is completely out of character for Steve,” said keyboardist Mark Kelly in a brief statement. “He’s never missed a rehearsal or disappeared without explanation. We are extremely worried.”

Police have launched an official investigation and are asking the public for any information regarding Hogarth’s whereabouts. His family is said to be “distraught but hopeful,” with his wife releasing a heartfelt message urging anyone who may have seen him or his silver Volvo to come forward.

Fans have flooded social media with messages of support and speculation, with many using the hashtag #FindHogarth to spread awareness. Some have pointed to recent interviews in which the singer appeared “deeply reflective” and spoke cryptically about “needing to get away.”

While no evidence currently suggests foul play, authorities are not ruling out any possibilities.

Hogarth, who joined Marillion in 1989, has been the voice behind some of the band’s most beloved albums and is widely regarded as one of the most emotive vocalists in modern rock.

As the search continues, the music world holds its breath, hoping for a safe and swift resolution to this unsettling mystery.
