The 27 club

The 27 Club, also sometimes known as the Club is always 27, Club 27 or the curse of the 27 is the title of an influential group of musicians who died epitomic at the age of 27 years. [1] Their names are synonymous with the brand "rock and roll" lifestyle [compter].

Club 27 is formed by two related phenomena, both in the field of popular culture. The first is a list of seven famous musicians who died at age 27, blues singer and musician Robert Johnson (considered as the first member of Club 27), [3] [4] Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse. The second is the idea that many notable musicians also died at the age of 27 years.

Musicians usually included in the 27 Club

The impetus for the creation of the club were the death of Jones, Hendrix, Joplin and Morrison [6]. Cobain, who died in 1994, was added later by some, as well as Winehouse in 2011 due to the extensive media coverage of his death in connection with the club. With the exception of Joplin and Winehouse, there is controversy surrounding his death. According to the book heavier than heaven, when Cobain died, his sister said when I was a kid talking about how he wanted to be part of Club 27. [7] In the fifteenth anniversary of the death of Kurt Cobain, National Public Radio, Robert Smith, said: "The deaths of these rock stars in the age of 27 years has really changed the outlook on rock music." [8] The 27s: The greatest myth of rock & roll history details of the phenomenon.
