Forever 27 Club
In the following September the London’s Proud Camden art gallery is planning to open a photo exhibition that will be dedicated to those musicians who died at the age of twenty seven. Most of them were previously included in the infamous Forever 27 Club, wrote The Guardian. The art gallery wishes to expose sixty photographs of five personalities who made a significant influence on rock music. All of them have passed away at twenty seven.
Visitors will see one of the best photo collections of Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain. Originally, Forever 27 Club included only Hendrix, Morrison and Joplin who died one after another in ten months (1970–1971). Later this list was added with The Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones, who had drowned in 1969, and Nirvana’s frontman Kurt Cobain who had committed suicide in 1994.
In the popular culture it’s widely considered that twenty seven is a critical age for artistic personalities, and now some researchers are trying to back this theory by the certain facts.
