The “Forever”
27 Club
I’ll never
forget the day in 2011 when I said to my husband that Amy Winehouse is going to
be another member of the 27 Club and mark my words on the 23rd of
July that year she passed away!
I often wonder
what is so significant of that Age, I know that my best friend Morag passed
away in 1991 just before her 27th birthday, and I was being rescued
from the Oceanos in the same year at the age of 1991, but luckily for me I am
still here.
Rolling Stone
Magazine says: “The 27 Club has
become one of the most elusive and remarkably tragic coincidences in rock &
roll history. The term became widely known after Kurt Cobain’s death in
1994, with rock fans connecting his age to that of Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin,
Brian Jones and Jimi Hendrix – though it was notable to fans in the early 1970s
when those four visionaries died within just two years of each other. When Amy
Winehouse passed away at age 27 in 2011, it attracted even more attention to
the significance of the age. While the club has been largely connected to
musicians, it has expanded since, as many young actors and artists have lost
their lives due to everything from addiction to suicide to freak accidents.”
