Description: 27 by Howard Sounes Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A history of the "27 Club" (music stars who died at 27), examining its six most iconic members. Publisher Description When singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her London home in 2011, the press inducted her into what Kurt Cobains mother named the 27 Club. "Now hes gone and joined that stupid club," she said in 1994, after being told that her son, the front man of Nirvana, had committed suicide. "I told him not to..." Kurts mom was referring to the extraordinary roll call of stars who died at the same young age, including Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison of the Doors. All were talented. All were dissipated. All were 27. In this haunting book, author Howard Sounes conducts the definitive forensic investigation into the lives and deaths of the six most iconic members of the Club, as well as some lesser known members, to discover what, apart from coincidence, this phenomenon signifies. In a grimly fascinating journey through the dark side of the music business, Sounes uncovers a common story of excess, madness, and self-destruction. The fantasies, half-truths, and mythologies that have become associated with the Club are debunked.Instead, a clear and compelling narrative emerges, one based on hard facts, that unites these lost souls in both life and death. Author Biography Howard Sounes is known for writing detailed and revelatory biographies of a wide range of extraordinary personalities, including author Charles Bukowski (Locked in the Arms of a Crazy Life) and musicians Bob Dylan (Down the Highway) and Paul McCartney (Fab). He lives in London.
