Top Ten Musicians Who Just Missed the 27 Club

From the May 19, 2020, ListVerse by Heidi Gillstrom.

The 27 Club for musicians refers to famous ones who died when they were twenty-seven.  This group lists ones who died before their 27th birthdays or just after their 27th birthday.

Again, photos and information accompany the ListVerse article.  I'll just give the group name.

10.  Shannon Hoon--  Blind Melon

9.  Steve Gaines--  Lynyrd Skynyrd

8.  Gram Parsons-- Country Rock pioneer   (Before)

7.  Bradley Nowell--  Sublime

6.  The Big Bopper--  J.P. Richardson

5.  Tim Buckley

4.  Bix Beiderbecke--  Jazz musician

3.  Nick Drake  (Before)

2.  Otis Redding  (Before)

1.  Hillel Slovak--  Red Hot Chili Peppers

Nick Drake was the only one who I'd never heard of by either name of group.  Actually, before this, I'd never heard of the term "27 Club" but was aware of the trio of Hendrix, Morrison and Joplin dying so young.

Reckon I'll HJave to Make an Entry About the "27 Club" Now.  --RoadDog
