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.)

    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.

    To die so young is considered a judgement of God.

    But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

    Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

    The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

    Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

    It's called the 27 Club. Some people wanted to join it on purpose. It has a huge following.

    No. Think about the other entertainers at different ages.

    Beautiful coincidence.
