    About this audiobook

    The myth of the 27 Club “curse" started in 1969 with the untimely death of Rolling Stones founder, Brian Jones, which was soon followed by Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison. They were all only 27 years old.

    But they weren't the only ones. It seems each new generation loses another beloved celebrity to the 27 Club.

    This book searches for patterns to these deaths by investigating the incredible true stories behind 20 tragic celebrities who became members of the 27 Club. It covers musicians, artists, athletes, and entertainers, including Basquiat, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, Pat Tillman, Anton Yelchin, Jonghyun, and many more.
