In Memoriam Forever 27 Club (Stars who passed at 27 years of age)

In Memoriam - Forever 27 Club (Stars who passed at 27 years of age) The 27 Club is a list of popular musicians, artists, or actors who died at age twenty-seven. It originated with an unsupported claim of a "statistical spike" for the death of musicians at that age, but this has been repeatedly disproved by research. It is also called the White Lighter Club, as it is rumored that these artists were carrying a white lighter. It remains a cultural meme, documenting the deaths of celebrities, some noted for their high-risk lifestyles. Names are often put forward for inclusion, but because the club is entirely notional, there is no official membership. In this video I want to honor the members of this legendary club, all the stars that left us at age 27.
