27 Club

[bacardirum]

A few members had not known about the 27 Club myth, where basically famous people die at the age of 27, and it displays what method they used to die, so maybe interesting for others who have not heard of it, I am on the list too: just below Reggie Lewis...

Club 27

 

[Now_And_Then]

Jonathan Brandis was also 27 when he caught the bus

I have posted about his suicide here

 

[bacardirum]

Sorry about JB :(

 

[HGL91]

I'm currently 27 and 28 in September. Still time.

 

[Soul]

Robert Johnson. Brian Jones.
More musicians die in their 70s, but somehow the world loves the Orpheus myth.

I thought I would join the club but ended up turning 28.

 

[inconsequential]

I thought I'd join, but now I'm not sure.

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

I will be 27 in 2 months. I feel like joining the club... And I am a musician but not famous lol anyway it's cool for me.i will be the first member who took SN (?

 

[Final Escape]

I wish I would have went out by then.

2 years too late for me such a shame to lose so many talented individuals though at young ages. Hope they all found peace.

Next year on 5 Feb 2020 I'll be 27 yo. Should I join the club? haha

Cheers to Club 27.

Too old. It's ridiculous how quick it's gone. A joke really. Is there a 33 club?

 

[Eternal Pessimist]

I still have a few months left to join but I don't think I will. I will probably be checking out next fall or early 2021 so I'll be 28.

Apparently there really is a spike in death at 27 for musicians. I guess it makes sense, at least for the ones that become successful in their teens or early 20s. They ride the high of success and fame for a few years and then it starts to feel empty or like it's not enough. This can trigger drug use or other issues that eventually lead to death one way or another. As Oscar Wilde said "There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it."

I'm almost there... 3 more days

 

[BlueWidow]

Janis Joplin
Ron "Pigpen" McKernan from The Grateful Dead
Kristin Pfaff from Hole

Probably lots more. . . Of course they all had access to really good drugs.

And isn't it odd how it starts to get slower and faster at the same time, at least for me it does. In some ways it seems like the years since I turned 30 have all just flown by. The snap of a finger and 20 years have gone by.
On the other hand, when I'm feeling depressed, and particularly the last two years since my husband died, have just dragged on and on. January 2019 seems like it was such a long time ago to me now. I feel like it must've been at least five years ago. And I've only gotten older and more tired since then.
I'm so happy I won't have to face another entire year.

Just might make it in time. Not particularly famous for anything, though.

The reason why I didn't join the 27 club was because I was actually happy and in love for a moment. At that point in my life, love was still good enough reason to keep living... Now I have nothing left to hold onto. I can't live for myself or for others. But at least I can happily say I won't live to see 30.

I don't want to wait til 27 but at the same time I do. I don't know where life will take me but I'd rather go out like Janis Joplin instead of some do nothing shut in.
