27 Club
The 27 Club —also occasionally known as the Forever 27 Club , Club 27 or the Curse of 27 —is a meme regarding popular musicians who all died at the age of 27 [ 1 ] often as a result of "precipitous lifestyles that made them candidates for early self-destruction." [ 2 ] The deaths of some prominent musicians at age 27, such as Robert Johnson , [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Brian Jones , Jimi Hendrix , Janis Joplin , Jim Morrison , Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse , have been linked to this idea. [ 5 ] The "club" has been repeatedly cited in music magazines, journals and the daily press. Several exhibitions have devoted to the Club of 27; distributed merchandising products, novels, films and stage plays captured this topic.
