Club 27
As I checked some celebrity birthdays I noticed that actually there are several potential new members for the very famous Club 27 - but there is no topic!
This special club contains musicians who died at the age of 27.
With the dead of Kurt Cobain in 1994 the idea of the Club 27 was spread out to public because connections were made with the deaths of Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison – musicians who has died between 1969 and 1971 under tragic circumstances. A myth was build around the club and with the dead of Amy Winehouse in 2011 there was a large amount of media attention devoted to the club once again.
These five musicians are always credited as the official or the main members of the Club 27 because of their parallel life lines (rock stars, icons, addictions, tragic deaths):
Brian Jones (28.02.1942-03.07.1969), guitarist of the Rolling Stones, drowned at the age of 27 years and 125 days
Jimi Hendrix (27.11.1942-18.09.1970), influential musician and pioneering guitarist, asphyxiation at the age of 27 years and 295 days
Janis Joplin (19.01.1943-04.10.1970), the Queen of Psychedelic Soul, heroin overdose at the age of 27 years and 258 days
Jim Morrison (08.12.1943-03.07.1971), poet and singer of The Doors, heart failure/heroin overdose at the age of 27 years and 207 days
Kurt Cobain (20.02.1967-05.04.1994), singer/songwriter of Nirvana, suicide by gunshot at the age of 27 years and 44 days
Amy Winehouse is often named as an equal member because of her popularity, her addictions and her tragic life: (14.09.1983-23.07.2011), singer/songwriter, alcohol poisoning at the age of 27 years and 312 days
Please feel free to pay tribute to other “members” or name the unnamed!
Watch out for future members!
