Editing Marillion (section)

====''Seasons End'' and ''Holidays in Eden'' (1989–1992)====
After the split, the band found Steve Hogarth, the former keyboardist and vocalist of [[The Europeans (band)|the Europeans]] and the duo [[How We Live]]. Hogarth first sang with the band in Pete Trewavas' garage on 24 January 1989, and the first public pictures together were released in ''[[Kerrang!]]'' magazine issue 230 on 18 March 1989.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-08-07 |title=Marillion name the new man |url=http://www.theeuropeans.co.uk/kerrang89big.jpg}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Collins |first=Jon |title=Marillion: Separated Out: The Complete History 1979-2002 |publisher=Helter Skelter Publishing |year=2003}}</ref> Hogarth was a significant contrast to Fish, coming from a [[New wave music|new wave]] musical background instead of progressive rock, and possessing a very different vocal style, image and stage presence. He had also never owned a Marillion album before joining the band.<ref name=Ling2001/>

The group had already recorded some demos of the next studio album, which was eventually titled ''[[Seasons End (album)|Seasons End]]'', just prior to the split. With Fish taking his lyrics with him, Hogarth set to work crafting new words to existing songs, collaborating with lyricist and author [[John Helmer (musician)|John Helmer]]. The demo sessions of the songs from ''Seasons End'' with Fish vocals and lyrics can be found on the bonus disc of the remastered version of ''Clutching at Straws'', while those lyrics found their way into various Fish solo albums, such as his first album ''[[Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors]]'', some snippets on his second album ''[[Internal Exile (Fish album)|Internal Exile]]'', and even a line or two found its way to his third album ''[[Suits (album)|Suits]]''.

The first time Marillion would appear in public with Steve Hogarth as the new singer was under the banner of Low Fat Yoghurts, at the Crooked Billet pub in [[Stoke Row]], on 8 June 1989. Only about 100 fans attended that Crooked Billet show, while considerably more attended Hogarth's official introduction to fans at the recording of the promo video for "[[Hooks in You]]" at London's [[Brixton Academy]] on 1 August that year. Hogarth's first proper concert with Marillion was at the [[Palais des Sports (Besançon)|Palais des Sports]] in Besançon, France on 5 October following the release of ''Seasons End''. The band ended 1989 with their traditional Christmas show at London's [[Hammersmith Apollo|Hammersmith Odeon]], and kicked off 1990 with the beginning of the ''Seasons End'' world tour, in front of 180,000 people at [[Hollywood Rock]] Festival in Rio de Janeiro in January, then rolling through Canada and North America before returning to Europe.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-08-01|title=the-band-that-refuses-to-die|url=https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-rise-and-rise-of-marillion-the-band-that-refuses-to-die}}</ref> The tour would prove to be the longest that Hogarth has thus far undertaken with Marillion. The tour ended in the UK in July, with a sold out show at [[Wembley Arena]], highlighting how successful the shift from Fish to the new frontman Hogarth had been.<ref name="Ewing">{{Cite journal|last=Ewing|first=Jerry|date=March 2010|title=Marillion History|journal=Classic Rock Presents Prog}}</ref>

Hogarth's second album with the band, ''[[Holidays in Eden (Album)|Holidays in Eden]]'', was the first he wrote in partnership with the band from the beginning, and includes the song "Dry Land", which Hogarth had written and recorded with his earlier duo, How We Live. As quoted from Steve Hogarth, "''Holidays in Eden'' was to become Marillion's "pop"est album ever, and was greeted with delight by many, and dismay by some of the hardcore fans".  EMI also wanted Marillon to deliver three hit singles from the album.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.marillion.com/music/albums/holidays.htm |title=MUSIC – Discography – Holidays in Eden |website=Marillion.com |access-date=19 August 2011}}</ref>

Marillion returned to their pseudonym Low Fat Yoghurts in December 1990 to preview their forthcoming album at the [[Moles (nightclub)|Moles club]] in [[Bath, Somerset]]. ''Holidays in Eden'' wouldn't be released until June 1991, and was followed by a headlining appearance at the second and final Cumbria Rock Festival at [[Derwent Park]] in Workington 13 July 1991. The Cumbria appearance kick-started another lengthy world tour that would see the band course through the UK, before venturing through Europe and returning to the UK for some Christmas shows. At the beginning of 1992 the band built their own recording and rehearsal studio, The Racket Club, in Buckinghamshire. March and April 1992 saw Marillion back touring Canada and America, before returning to the UK for an exclusive and intimate 10th Anniversary show at London's Borderline for members of their The Web fan club on 9 May 1992, followed by another European tour in August.

Marillion returned to the UK to headline Wembley Arena, for what would ultimately be the final time for the band, on 5 September 1992. The 1992 tour wound up in Baltimore, USA on 23 October. 1992 also saw the release of a 10th anniversary compilation album, ''[[A Singles Collection|A Singles Collection: Six of One, Half A Dozen of the Other]]'', so-titled as it included six tracks from the Fish era and six from the two albums with Hogarth. It also included two new recordings, "I Will Walk on Water" and a cover of [[Rare Bird]]'s "[[Sympathy (Rare Bird song)|Sympathy]]". "Sympathy" was also released as a single and it reached No. 17 in the UK charts, the first time the band had been inside the singles Top 20 since "Incommunicado".<ref>{{Cite book|last=Collins|first=Jon|title=Separated Out|publisher=Helter Skelter Publishing Ltd.|year=2002|pages=113–114}}</ref> Marillion would play only one live show in 1993, a fan club gig at Tivoli Theatre in Utrecht on 19 June, as a duo with only Hogarth and Trewavas. The band spent most of 1993 recording what would become one of the most significant albums of their history.<ref name="Ewing" />
