Club 27
27 - An anticipated death age for musicians?
Is it a curse or just a coincidence? The 27 Club, also known as ''Forever 27 Club'', ''Club 27'' or ''Curse of 27'' is a club in which popular musicians have become a member after they've died at age of 27.
In the following I will look at the question of whether the theories and speculations of this ''curse'' are right or wrong.
You probably know the deaths of Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain or Amy Winehouse. They all died at the age of 27. These three and many other popular musicians died of an overdose of drugs or alcohol. But do they have a connection? And is it right to put them and their deaths in the media or in a club that show that their deaths aren't normal?
Many people describe their deaths as a result of ''precipitous lifestyles that made them candidates for early self-destruction''. That is one similarity of all musicians. They all lived an excessive lifestyle and had an exceptional musical influence. In fact that they were very famous and that they had many fans, they lived a life which was very thoroughly planned and which led to major problems.
Since January 17, 1892, 45 27-year old musicians have died. Many of the musicians who died later were scared of dying when they'll turn 27, also Amy Winehouse. The woman with the biggest voice of the alleged past decade, loaded with numerous prizes. The last concerts of Amy Winehouse were described as a ''Waste of money'' by most of the fans. 20,000 spectators booed the 27-year-old. The fact that Amy Winehouse actually has a voice of the century became more and more into oblivion.
She sometimes told of her fear to die with 27. But at the end, she died at the age of 27 years and 312 days. She had an alcohol poisoning and her body did not stand her inner fury anymore what you could often see in the media, like television or newspaper. She nearly would have turned 28 but maybe it really was destiny to die at this age.
