https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_Club

The 27 Club is an informal list consisting mostly of popular musicians, artists, actors, and other celebrities who died at age 27.

Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison all died at the age of 27 between 1969 and 1971. At the time, the coincidence gave rise to some comment, but it was not until Kurt Cobain's 1994 suicide, at age 27, that the idea of a "27 Club" began to catch on in public perception.



Started with Robert Johnson. C’mon, man.


I was just quoting Wikipedia. If you have a beef you should edit Wikipedia. :)
