The Curse of 27!
With the recent, tragic passing of Amy Winehouse, I'd like to shine a light upon the talent the musical world has lost to the so called "27 club"
Brian Jones - The Rolling Stones guitarist was found drowned in a swimming pool. A coroner's report explained the incident as 'death by misadventure'.
Jimi Hendrix - Pioneering guitarist Jimi Hendrix was a left handed guitarist who strung his right handed guitar backwards, playing it behind his head and even with his teeth at times. Whenever you air guitar, you are saluting this God of Rock. Jimi tragically died by asphyxiating on his own vomit. A well-known known drug addict, he had earlier combined sleeping pills with wine.
Janis Joplin - Songwriter Joplin died on October 4, 1970 from a heroin overdose. The raspy-voiced singer was called "probably the most powerful singer to emerge from the white rock movement in the sixties" by Time
