27 CLUB

The 27 Club is the name of a group of singers who all died when they were 27 years old. All the famous rock singers like Kurt Cubain, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison died at the age of 27. Is it coincidence? Or want all these rock stars die at this age to form part of the group? It is a question that nobody can answer, and a lot of people only think that it is a curse...

Brian Jones: He is the Rolling Stones founder and the guitarist. He died the 3rd of July 1969 when he was 27 years and 125 days old. He is drowned in his swimming pool one week after had left the Rolling Stones.

Jimi Hendrix: He was guitarist, singer and songwriter for "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" and "Band of Gypsys". He died the 18th of September 1970 when he was 27 years and 295 days old. He asphyxiated on vomit after combining sleeping pills with wine.

Janis Joplin: She was the lead vocalist and songwirter for Big Brother and the Holding Company. She died when she was 27 years and 258 days old. Probable the death cause is an overdose of heroin.

Jim Morrison: He was lead singer, songwriter and video director of "The Doors". He died on the 3rd of July 1971 when he was 27 years and 207 days old. The autopsy said he had an heart failure, but it isn't sure.


Kurt Cobain: He was the lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of "Nirvana". He died on the 5th April 1994 when he was 27 years and 44 days old. He suicided himelf with a shotgun.


But there are a lot of other famous people that died at the age of 27: Linda Jones, Jesse Belvin, Jacob Miller... it is a very big curiosity, and I think that a lot of another rock singers will die at this age, because it is almost a tradition or a honor to belong to the 27 Club.
