27 club..♥

♥

since the death of amy winehouse, i've been reading up about everything, and anything to do with her, and i've stumbled across something really interesting relating to her death.

amy winehouse died at the age of 27, which follows a trend of a lot of other famous people. they have all been catagorized together, in what is known as the 27 club, or the forever 27 club, or more spookily, the 27 curse, as a list of influential musicians who have died at the age of 27!

the club was firstly "created" as such, by the deaths of brian jonesm janis joplin, jimi hendrix, and jim morrison, although kurt kobain was later added when he died in 1994, and obviously now, amy winehouse is to be added to the list. there was some controversy over kirt kobain being added to the list, because it was revealed after his death by his sister that he had dreamed of joining the 27 club!

the curse of 27 is the belief that 27 is an unlucky number and all the musicians and entertainers who have died at that age are believed to have been affected by the curse. the number 27 has been said to "follow" and bring bad luck to people. they see it random times throughout the day, on the clock, on television, in phone numbers, etc, and it is believed that these famous artists who died at this age, would have went through that pattern.

it's quite a strange thing to think about, but no one can deny the strange coinsidences that occur for these musicians. the drinking, the drugs, the strange behaviour, the dramatic love stories between them and the lovers in their life.. it sort of makes you wonder if there was such a thing as the 27 curse, and if it affected all parts of their lives, not only their dying age.
