A young fan who went missing after the Stone Roses' first reunion show has been found dead, reports NME.

Christopher Brahney disappeared after the band played their first major U.K. date since 1996 on June 29th at Heaton Park, England. Exhaustive searches took place over the last week, with the band urging the public to help find the 22-year-old man. His body was recovered by police today and authorities were able to confirm his identity.

Brahney was from Manchester, the same town as the Stone Roses. A complete post-mortem examination will be conducted tomorrow.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
