Dead Rockers Infographic: Infamous VIPs of the 27 Club

The 27 Club is an exclusive group of musicians who all found fame early in life, partied hard, and died far too young - at age 27, to be exact.

Over 50 musicians have “joined” the club, most recently Amy Winehouse, but the two most famous “members” are probably Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix. Almost everyone in the 27 Club died as a result, direct or indirect, of drugs and alcohol, often in deadly combinations.

A new infographic by Clarity Way profiles the five most well-known members of this infamous club: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse. Along the way, it examines facts about their histories of drug and alcohol abuse and how they apply to Americans today.
