THE 27 CLUB

Do you know who is Janis Joplin? Jim Morrison? Well, you must know who is Jimi Hendrix! Or Kurt Cobain...

All of them died at the age of 27, and they were all forming a group of influential rock and blues musicians.

There are more people who died at the age of 27, but they are the "main characters" of this club.

The 27 Club, Forever 27 Club or Club 27 is a name for a group of famous rock and blues musicians who all died at the age of 27.

There are like two groups of 27 Club: the first is a list of five famous rock musicians who died at age 27. In the second group there are another artists, not so important people, but they also died at the age of 27.

Let's see the firsts victims of the 27 Club:

BRIAN JONES: Lewis Brian Hopkins Jones (1942-1969) was a English musician. He found a rock band called The Rolling Stones, do you know them? ;)

Some friends of him were Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, John Lennon or George Harrison.

He died having drowned in a swimming pool, maybe someone had killed him! It is not clear...

JANIS JOPLIN (1943-1970): she was a blues and rock and roll singer, maybe one of the bests singers of all the time. She was a symbol of Hippie times during the sixties. You should listen some songs of her, Mercedes Benz, Ball and Chain, Piece of my heart, Try, Me and Bobby McGee or Cry Baby. She died of a heroin overdose, after being out of drugs for a while.

JIMI HENDRIX (1942-1970): one of the big ones if we talk about guitar players. He was an American guitarrist and singer song-writer. He is widely considered to be the greatest electric guitarrist of all the times. He died after mixing sleeping pills and wine, he began to asphyxiate because of his own vomit.

JIM MORRISON (1943-1971): he was the frontman of the psychedelic rock band The Doors. He used to mix alcohol, marihuana and LSD. He finally died as heart failure, but nobody practised an autopsy to him.

KURT COBAIN (1967-1994): the singer and guitarrist of the music band Nirvana left the world after a drug addiction and feeling an unhappy man, he left this world leaving alone his wife and daughter, killing himself by shotgun.

After these people, they are another artists, a lot of them dead because of drugs or car accidents, such as Jesse Belvin, Dickie Pride, Gary Thain, Jacob Miller or Bryan Ottoson.
