I feel that my life has most been influenced by this left out member of the Forever 27 Club. MarleneB, that is an interesting point. In the case of Cobain he was aware of the 27 club and there is rumors he may of timed events in order to be included in the club. Not sure I entirely buy that, but the sad thing is an artist could make the list by making a conscious decision to end it all at But I guess it could go the other way as well.
Man, if I was a rock star under the age of 27, this 27 death phenomenon would make me crazy scared. I had never heard of it before now. I wonder how it affects the mindset of musicians as they approach age I first read an article about Jones Hendrix Joplin and Morrison around 93 or 94, stating how also they all carried the letter J in their names while being 60's rock stars who died at But this list is fully comprehensive.
Thanks WriterJanis for the read and comment, greatly appreciated. Glad that I introduced you to the 27 club, even though it is sad that I had to. It is tragic that we have lost so many talented individuals so young. I did not know of this club until I read this, but it all makes sense now. Amazing how so many talented artists died at this age. You did an outstanding job at covering this.
Thanks Minnetonka Twin for the read and the comment! I agree that it is a tragedy that we lost so many talented artists so young.
Great hub spartucusjones-So sad how many incredible artists's we've lost at the young age of It's a very intriguing and mysterious club. Great article with great capsules and information. It is an interesting thought. There were rumors before he died that he was going to quit Nirvana and take a break from the music industry. It would be interesting to think what directions Kurt may of took his music outside of Nirvana. Thanks, LisaMarie.
I am glad that you found it informative. I appreciate the read and the comment. I also am a huge music lover and I've never heard of this before. It's hard to believe that so many talented people died at Great hub and it's honestly packed with information, one of the most informative hubs I've read in a while.
Great job. Hey Emma, It is truly mind boggling how many great artists died at I truly appreciate the read and the comment. Hi Spartucusjones - I am a big music fan and have heard of the 27 club. I had no idea there were so many musicians who died at this age though.
Interesting about Amy Winehouse - I knew she was in her late twenties, but it didn't register with me that she was I didn't know Richie Manic was 27 when he disappeared as well. Hadn't heard of the club before, a very interesting read, thanks. I didn't realise Hendrix and Joplin were so young.
Not a club anyone would aim to join! Simone - You are right, the 27 death phenomenon is truly mind boggling. I am also glad to be one of your party resources. It is always nice to gain approval from the boss lady. I had not heard of the 27 Club before and am kind of floored by the number of artists who died at this age. Who knew?? This is an awesome Hub though- love the quiz, poll, videos, and reference table. I remember reading about the 27 club after Amy Winehouse died.
That article wasn't nearly as comprehensive as yours. Thanks for the in-depth look into this unique club membership roster. A fascinating Hub! Oh my goodness - I had never heard of the 27 club before! That is so sad - 27 is such a young age to die. You are right, this is a tragic club to be a part of. Who knows what would of happened if these gifted artists have lived longer. Thanks for reading and I appreciate the insights. This is a club with an alarming membership. Not one of the people listed on the chart died of normal causes.
It is sad and some of their music may have made a greater impact had they not passed on so early in life. I came across this again in my HubHopper, so I was like why not drop in again? Thanks Tom. You are right Brad just missed the cut. But 28 is still way too young, and if they had a way too young club he would belong to that.
Really interesting, spartucus. I liked the capsule you put into the hub giving dates, causes, and claims to fame. Brad Nowell missed it by a few months by turning 28 before he died. I think they should give him honorary 27 Club status.
Josh - I appreciate the kind comments! I am also glad that you have learnt something. Learning stuff is cool! This is a great Hub. A lot of people know about the Forever 27 Club, but they don't know the huge number of people that are in it. I have to be honest and admit that I know nothing about this club, but the hub was an enjoyable read!
I will give you that, very informative well-written, and full of great capsules. That I can critique, and you get a in my book! I can tell you took a lot of time on this hub because it shows.
