The 27 Club of Musicians

The 27 Club of Musicians…
Was it a deal with the devil… or just a coincidence? Regardless, this phenomenon of successful musicians all moving on at the early age of 27 is kind of eerie! Oddly enough, the list is quite a bit longer than what you might think!
The 27 Club, or sometimes referred to as “The Forever 27 Club” is typically known for Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Brian Jones.
Even stranger, Brian Jones and Jim Morrison each died on the same date two years apart! But what most fail to recognize are the many, many others who had also left this earth at the pinnacle of their career at the ripe old age of 27!
Just to name a few:
- Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson: Singer for “Canned Heat”
- Dave Alexander: Bassist for the “Stooges”
- Peter ham: Keys & Guitar for “Badfinger”
- Rudy Lewis: Singer for the “Drifters”
And this is just the tip of the iceberg! What other “Big Names” can we add to this list…
