We're thinking of the people of Ukraine. Marillion support whoever stands up for truth and true democracy. We're all just people. We're essentially all the same. Why should we kill our brothers and sisters? No more lies. No more war.
The band is completely gutted at the passing of Jeff Beck. The most dedicated and innovative electric guitarist in the world has left us. Our thoughts are with his family and those who loved him. Rest in peace, your grace xx
Greetings from my garage studio! Listening to the writing ideas for the next Marillion album. It’s exciting and frustrating in equal measure as we can’t currently work together in the same room but I can tell that it’s going to be a great album! Stay safe and sane xx
Anniversaries are like buses! Its time to celebrate the 38th anniversary of our very first album, Script For A Jester's Tear. Happy 38th anniversary! Anyone else feel old?
An early listening session has become my morning ritual and I'm really enjoying what we have to work with on this album. 40 years and we haven't lost it yet:) Stay healthy. from Pete.
A message to all of our fans around the world who are working as Doctors, nurses, care workers, policemen and women, firefighters, bin men, supermarket workers or any number of 'key workers' helping us all to stay home and save lives. Thank you.
Happy 2021 to every around the world. It’s gonna start off badly but then get much, much better we promise. Stay safe and try and have some fun. Thank you to everyone for your support this year.

We appear to be trending on Twitter because Sugar Mice 1987 was on the BBC programme Top Of The Pops that was shown tonight! We didn’t split up when Fish left. Here’s our concert from the Royal Albert Hall recently:).

No Mr Chancellor. We will NOT be 'retraining'. We are MUSICIANS. It's in our blood. May we kindly suggest that YOU retrain? Perhaps retrain to have understanding of the creative arts industry that brings in Billions of Pounds to the UK economy every year?

What's Rishi Sunak's message to musicians, actors, freelancers in the arts who don't feel govt is supporting them? Should they get a different job?
The Chancellor told me it's "not right that there's no work available...and everyone is having to adapt."

Immigrants. Refugees. Aren’t they just people? What separates them from you and me? From my mum? From the Queen? From David Bowie? We’re just people.

#RandomActsOfKindnessDay
Tell someone they are amazing today. Hold a door open. Think twice before you post something negative online. Just be kind and try to do it daily. Fight your corner if you have to but do it with grace.
If you have pre-ordered from Townsend Music, please go to your accounts where there is a download of the album ready and waiting for you. Thanks again!
The albums have all been posted out, it will also be on all streaming sites and in the shops tomorrow. We hope you enjoy it
Thank you Aylesbury. What an amazing gig last night. We felt the love. And on top of that, you managed to donate over a tonne of goods for the food bank. We also gave them £1000 from our merch sales. AND…we got presented with the Friars Aylesbury Cup:). Thank you.
Two more songs to go then the

"We are the new Kings
We sold your council houses, not to you, but the banks
Up in the stratosphere - wielding the knife
While you said thanks
Oceans of money high in the clouds
But if you hang around
More often than not, it'll trickle down... "
"Like a bright new morning, like a bright new day
And I woke up from a deep sleep
And I woke up from a bad dream
To a bright new morning, to a bright new day"
Thank you Cambridge. That was a wonderful evening. We are now in Birmingham and looking forward to tonight’s sold out concert. Bring it on!

We know this is a 'love/hate' album for the fans, but 14 years later and we are still proud of it.
Congratulations to
