The 27 club

If I was a celebrity, The 27 club is definatly the lowest on my list, side by side with the Charles Manson club, that I would want to be part of.

It's pretty simple - there are LOADS of deaths of influential musicians at the age of 27.

There are references to Nietzsche's philosophy as it applies to music, astrology and numerology and the findings are that more musicians have died at age 27 than of any other age.

Here's the list, with my fav songs posted underneath.

The latest casualty was the sad passing of one of the greatest singers of our generation -

Amy Winehouse July 23, 2011
COD - Undetermined



Kurt Cobain April 5, 1994
COD - Suicide




Jim Morrison July 3, 1971
COD Heart failure (although no autopsy was done)




Janis Joplin October 4, 1970
COD - Probable heroin overdose




Jimi Hendrix September 18, 1970
COD - Asphyxiation




Brian Jones July 3 1969
COD - Drowned





Robert Johnson August 16, 1938
COD - Unknown




And there are heaps more artists that I didn't even know. freaky shit huh.

Wonder who will be next...
