Forever 27 club

Apakah itu Forever 27?

Well, apparently, forever 27 is a popular culture name for a group of influential rock and blues musicians who all died at the age of 27, sometimes under mysterious circumstances.


Ada beberapa kontroversi mengenai para musisi yang meninggal di umur 27 ini, walaupun sebenarnya kematian mereka sudah dinyatakan sebagai bunuh diri ( i know, scary. But hey, all those people are legends).

Selain itu, yang mendasari dibuatnya club ini adalah kematian 'ganjil' para musisi yang meninggal di usia 27 dan dalam selang waktu 2 tahun saja.

Dalam daftar ini terdapat nama-nama yang sudah tidak asing lagi ditelinga, walaupun saat mereka meninggal gue aja belom lagi kali. Mereka adalah Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, dan Jim Morrison. Keempat musisi ini meninggal antara tahun 1969 dan 1971. Bahkan Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, dan Jim Morrison meninggal hanya dalam selang waktu 10 bulan saja. Morrison dan Brian Jones meninggal di tanggal yang sama, namun dalam selang waktu 2 tahun.
