The 27 Club

Amy Winehouse, singer and songwriter, is dead at age 27. Her name is the latest to be added to a list of musicians who died at age 27. So many, in fact, that it’s referred to as The 27 Club, or sometimes The Forever 27 Club, or Club 27. Amy is in good company. Brian Jones ... Jimi Hendrix ... Janis Joplin ... Jim Morrison ... Kurt Cobain ... are some of the better known members of the 27 Club. I wasn’t a fan of Amy Winehouse, but I could see she had talent. She sold millions of albums and left her mark on this world. Rest in peace, Amy.
