How did Jimi Hendrix die? What about Robert Johnson? Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones or Jim Morrison- how did they die? These rock stars- and many more- passed tragically at the young age of 27, and in the public consciousness, they have joined "The 27 Club." But why do so many musicians seem to die at that age?
In this video we tell the stories of 24 musicians who are in the 27 Club- and how they got there. Chapters below, if you want to skip around.
