Marillion Explain Title Of New Album 'F E A R'

(Prog) Marillion have tackled issues without preaching to their audience on 18th album 'F E A R', says Steve Hogarth.The abbreviation stands for F*** Everyone And Run - but the frontman insists they're not trying to offend people needlessly.

It's to be released on September 23, just before the band launch a North American tour, followed by UK and European dates. Hogarth says: "We've used 'F E A R' as a title with some relish, but only as it shows we haven't shied away. It's said with sadness. There are two basic impulses behind human behaviour - love and fear. All the good stuff comes from love."

Hogarth adds: "We use the amazing privilege of having both a platform and an audience to encourage people to look in the mirror and ask themselves the big questions - by doing just that ourselves." Read more here.
