The Big 27

The 27 Club, also occasionally known as the Forever 27 Club, is a popular culture name for a group of influential rock and blues musicians who all died at the age of 27, sometimes under mysterious circumstances. Though I´m not really a musician…I´m a big music enthusiast….so this is a big year for me.

Brian Jones : Rolling Stones founder and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist.

Brian Jones

Jimi Hendrix : Asphyxiated on vomit after accidental overdose of sleeping pills.

 

Janis Joplin : Heroin overdose after misjudging the purity of the drug.

Jim Morrison : Official cause of death listed as “heart failure” but, as no autopsy was performed, the actual cause remains mysterious. Possible accidental overdose.

Kurt Cobain : although there are a variety of theories about the manner of his death, it was officially ruled as caused by a self inflicted shotgun wound.

Not a bad looking group…..but I´m rooting for the kind of group….like the other birthday boy is in……David Gilmour from Pink Floyd….Happy Birthday David.
