The number “27” occupies an odd place in rock history…it’s the age when rock stars die—or so the story goes…and, if i’m honest, it does come up quite a bit…there are books on the subject, documentaries, and more.
The age of “27” has an eerie hold over popular culture…even casual music fans think that this is when so many rock stars have died…given the ubiquity of the concept of “the 27 club” has, someone might guess that we’re talking dozens and dozens of deaths…just look how deeply “the 27 club” is embedded into rock lore…it’s morbid stuff, but who doesn’t like stories that flirt with death?.
Here’s the question: is this mythology justified? ...what evidence exists for it?... And if so, what’s so special and common about rock starts dying at the age of 27?... We should look into this.
I’m Alan Cross and this is episode 28 of “Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry…it’s time to investigate the truth of “The 27 Club”.
