Adam's story: The impact of young male suicide

Last November, 29-year-old Adam Connolly was found dead after going missing from his home in Hackney, east London.

He lived with Jack Savidge, the drummer in Friendly Fires.

Adam's girlfriend, Juliette Hughes, said he only revealed his battle with depression to her a couple of days before he killed himself.

Jack and Juliette have spoken to Newsbeat about Adam's suicide. It's currently the biggest killer of men aged between 15 and 29-years-old in the UK.
