I've never been in any clubs, they seem like fun. We'll, most of them seem fun. Not so much the 27 club. For those of you that don't know what the "27 club" is, I'll tell you!
The 27 club is a term used to refer to celebrities that have passed away at the age of 27. And there's a bunch of them!
(Someone should come up with a 27 club t-shirt. Maybe something like, "27 club, new members wanted" or something funny? But someone should make a t-shirts!)
Here are a few of the more well known celebs that have joined the 27 club.
Joseph Merrick(The Elephant Man) Died, in April of 1890
Brian Jones(guitarist for The Rolling Stones) Died, July 3, 1969. Drowned
Jimi Hendrix. Died, September 18, 1970. Asphyxiation...allegedly
Janis Joplin. Died, October 4, 1970 Heroin overdose(equal rights in full affect!)
Jim Morrison. Died, July 3, 1971. Heart failure...I'm guessing it was the drugs. A lot of drugs!
There's a lot of other people, but I'm just sticking to the biggest ones(that's what she said)
Kurt Cobain. Died, April 5, 1995. Suicide by shotgun

Fact: Lindsay Lohan turns 27 next year. At the rate she's going, she'll get her membership card soon enough.
Hmm? Why is it mostly musicians???? Oh yeah! Sex, drugs AND rock & roll. Them some crazy mix!
