The 27 Club

The 27 club is a group of incredibly famous Rock n’ Roll stars. The people represented in this “club” have been forever etched in what makes up the epic history of rock. Basically the 27 club is made up of a substantial amount of extremely famous rock musicians with mutual lifestyles and strangely enough were all deceased by the time they were 27 years of age. There are many names involved that are considered to be part of it but the ones I consider and are most usually brought up (in chronological order) starting with first deceased would be Brian Jones the original founder and guitarist of the Rolling Stones he apparently drowned to death basically due to recklessness though this is widely disputed. After that the legendary Jimi Hendrix unfortunately was found deceased after choking on his own vomit from ingesting too many sleeping pills and apparently mixing with alcohol in his system although like most of the other deaths in the 27 club is disputed and uncertain to people. Shortly after Jimi Hendrix’s death Janis Joplin died and caused a stir with fans and the general 60’s music scene. Peculiarly enough after the deaths of two of the most famous musicians of the time Jimi Hendrix was found dead by his beloved girlfriend Pamela in the bathtub of his Paris home. When this occurred the cause of Death was never released publicly so naturally theories rapidly sprouted like that he faked his own death which was widely believed. Also believed that he became a heroin addict and simply overdosed. The one that would probably most believable is that he was out open night drinking heavily as he always did and just randomly died by essentially being reckless and belligerently drunk. The real reason was released years after his death by two close friends of Morrison’s. They said he was drinking heavily and tried heroin with Pam and had a heart attack due to the combination of heroin and alcohol. The last member of the 27 club is Kurt Cobain as everyone knows he supposedly committed suicide with a shotgun blast to the head. Though out of all these musicians death Cobain’s is the most disputed, Most people believe he killed himself while others think his wife Courtney Love killed him and set it up to look like suicide. There are large amounts of evidence that support this theory although I still believe that his death was self inflicted dude to his life long history of depression, hard drug use and other issues. The 27 club is simply a huge coincidence that becomes very interesting when you look into the details of these musicians deaths and lifestyle because they are eerily similar so it may not be a mere coincidence.
