27 Club

The 27 Club refers to a group of influential musicians and artists who tragically died at the age of 27. Many of these individuals, such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse, struggled with issues like addiction, mental health problems, or the pressures of fame. Their deaths often highlighted the intense, often destructive, lifestyles associated with celebrity and creativity. The concept has become a symbol of the tragic risks of excess and the fleeting nature of fame, sparking ongoing discussion about mental health awareness and the pressures faced by young artists in the entertainment industry.
