I was browsing through a book today in a bookstore, and it mentioned the "curse of 27". Evidently, a lot of rock legends and stars died at age 27. Hendrix, Joplin, Cobain all died at age 27. I can't find anything on the web about the curse. Can you think of any others who died at 27?

Well, unfortunately we'll have to add Amy Winehouse to that as well...

Since poster #5 hasn't posted in three years (well past his 27th birthday) we'll assume he too bought the farm.

Does anyone find it weird that this thread came back right before Winehouse passed?

Also, she died the year I was in rehab for 4 months and all I did was sing that damn song of hers over and over again.

creeeeeeeeepy.

Ok, just coincidences.
