==== ''Fuck Everyone And Run (F E A R)'' and ''An Hour Before It's Dark'' (2015–present) ==== In September 2015, Marillion announced that they were working on a new album, provisionally titled ''M18'' and later confirmed as ''[[Fuck Everyone and Run (F E A R)|Fuck Everyone And Run (F E A R)]]''. As with several of their previous releases, the recording of the album was to be funded by fan pre-orders, this time through [[direct-to-fan]] website [[PledgeMusic]]. The album was released on 23 September 2016<ref name=album18_release>{{cite web|title=Marillion Album 18 Pre-Order Campaign|url=http://www.marillion.com/album18/pressrelease.php|website=Marillion.com|access-date=7 September 2015}}</ref><ref name=pledgemusic_campaign>{{cite web|title=Marillion: New Album on PledgeMusic|url=http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/marillion|website=[[PledgeMusic]]|access-date=7 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160921174935/http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/marillion|archive-date=21 September 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> debuting at No. 4 in the official UK charts of 30 September 2016, their highest placing since ''[[Clutching at Straws]]'' nearly three decades earlier.

The bulk of the funds for the memorial were raised at a gig held at the [[Waterside Theatre]] in Aylesbury on the evening of the unveiling which Marillion headlined, alongside Jones, [[John Otway]] and the Dung Beatles, all of whom have close association to Aylesbury and in particular, the Friars. In early 2019, Marillion entered the studio with the intention to record songs from their catalogue with friends from the orchestra who played with the band at the Royal Albert Hall shows in 2017. ''With Friends from the Orchestra'' was recorded at The Racket Club and [[Peter Gabriel]]'s Real World Studios and features reimagined versions of songs accompanied by the In Praise of Folly String Quartet with Sam Morris on French horn and Emma Halnan on flute. The album was released 29 November 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-08-01|title=musicplayers.com|url=https://musicplayers.com/2019/11/album-review-marillion-with-friends-from-the-orchestra/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-08-01|title=marillion.com|url=https://www.marillion.com/shop/albums/intactcd19EAR.htm}}</ref> In November and December 2019, the orchestra followed Marillion on tour in the UK, returning for two nights at the Royal Albert Hall, and they also played shows in the Netherlands, France, Italy and Germany.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-08-01|title=theguardian|website=[[TheGuardian.com]]|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/nov/13/marillion-review-royal-concert-hall-glasgow}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-08-01|title=theprogressiveaspect|url=https://theprogressiveaspect.net/blog/2019/11/26/marillion-with-friends-from-the-orchestra/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-08-01|title=loudersound|url=https://www.loudersound.com/news/marillion-announce-2019-orchestral-uk-tour}}</ref> On 3 August 2021, Marillion announced their new pre-order campaign for a new studio album, entitled ''[[An Hour Before It's Dark]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-08-15|title=pre-order|url=https://www.marillion.com/pre-order/}}</ref> The album was released on 4 March 2022.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.loudersound.com/news/marillion-release-full-details-of-upbeat-new-album-an-hour-before-its-dark|title=Marillion release full details of 'upbeat' new album An Hour Before It's Dark|first=Jerry|last=Ewing|date=19 November 2021|publisher=Loudersound|access-date=4 January 2022}}</ref> In 2021, Marillion asked their fans to insure their 10-date Light at the End of the Tunnel Tour in November. Manager Lucy Jordache said: "We're asking our fans to pledge money that will be held in escrow and if it all goes Covid free, it will be returned to them at the end of the tour. But if we do have to cancel, then their money will be used to pay the band's unavoidable expenses." The band had already invested more than £150,000 on preparations, but risked losing it all if just one member tested positive for COVID-19 and was forced to isolate. The tour was a success, and the donations were refunded to the fans who were named "Lightsavers".<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-11-16|title=marillion-ask-their-fans-to-insure-their-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel-tour|url=https://totalrock.com/marillion-ask-their-fans-to-insure-their-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel-tour/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-11-16|title=progressive-rock-band-marillion-seeks-to-crowdfund-covid-19-tour-insurance|url=https://celebrityaccess.com/2021/10/08/progressive-rock-band-marillion-seeks-to-crowdfund-covid-19-tour-insurance/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-12-01|title=Marillion Hammersmith|url=https://www.metaltalk.net/marillion-the-sense-of-community-is-stronger-than-ever-in-hammersmith.php}}</ref>
