Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Curt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones...all died at 27.?

Is there a spiritual statute of limitations on self-destruction?

Amy Wineglass doesn't deserve to be named in the same sentence as the others.

its not the 27 club, there are only 5 members of the club, many many celebrities die at 27, but they aren't in the club, its only for the biggest superstars of rock it belongs too, she is merely a person who died at 27, there have been at least 18 musicians that died at 27 since kurt kobain and he was the last member, so just because she died at 27, doesn't mean she is in the club. maybe god wants a band of musicians all in their prime.

I think Richey Edwards (of the Manic Street Preachers) may have vanished/died at age 27 too. Richey Edwards was one of the greatest lyricists of all time.

(Been listening to the Manics' "The Holy Bible" album a lot recently.)

it's weird.you spelled Cobain's name wrong it's Kurt and don't forget Robert Johnson,he was a blues singer,who also died at 27 in 1938.

My guess is that if you look at celebrities who died before they were 30, you would find other clusters of deaths at certain ages other than 27.
