27 : a history of the 27 club through the lives of Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse
Sounes, Howard, 1965-2013
Book
Imagine a club that people are dying to get into-- literally! Sounes examines the lives of six musicians and singers who died at the age of 27, plus other music industry figures who died at that age, to discover what-- apart from coincidence-- this phenomenon signifies. He discovers a common story of excess, madness, and self-destruction.
