The Forever 27 Club

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 23^rd 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 27^th 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.”
