When singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her London home in
2011, the press inducted her into what Kurt Cobain's mother named
the 27 Club. Now he's gone and joined that stupid club, she said in
1994, after being told that her son, the front man of Nirvana, had
committed suicide. I told him not to... Kurt's mom was referring to
the extraordinary roll call of stars who died at the same young
age, including Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix,
Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison of the Doors. All were talented. All
were dissipated. All were 27. In this haunting book, author Howard
Sounes conducts the definitive forensic investigation into the
lives and deaths of the six most iconic members of the Club, as
well as some lesser known members, to discover what, apart from
coincidence, this phenomenon signifies. In a grimly fascinating
journey through the dark side of the music business, Sounes
uncovers a common story of excess, madness, and self-destruction.
The fantasies, half-truths, and mythologies that have become
associated with the Club are debunked. Instead, a clear and
compelling narrative emerges, one based on hard facts, that unites
these lost souls in both life and death.
