So you’ve probably heard that singer Amy Winehouse died today. The autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow, but in the meantime, I’ve always thought it odd that so many famous singers died at the age of 27. All were due to drug overdoses, but it’s still just a little eerie. Do you believe there is some type of coincidence that they all died at that age? Such a tragic loss to see yet another young talent gone too soon.

When I first saw this list I was blown away by how many greats died so young. Even though I knew that Amy had problems it still was shocking to hear about her death. It really saddens me how someone could be so lost in their addiction that it results in their death.
It is really weird…
It is so sad to hear
I think it is VERY eerie that so many died at age 27. CRAZINESS & so sad!
Well the actual “27 Group” list states that only about half were drug overdoses the rest were accidents, murders, missing, etc. I thought it was strange so many died at 27 until I saw there is a “26 Group”, “25 Group”, etc. etc.
Still sad though :/
Sad, sad, sad to see all these beautiful, incredibly talented youngsters go to soon! And they are all the ones everyone remembers. They were the ones who have changed music for the better (Ok,so a lot of other artists have too) but you know what I mean? It’s just so sad.
P.S. that picture of Jim Morrison is beautiful!
Wow, that is so interesting…I have no idea it happened at 27 for each of them. So sad about Amy.
As sad as it is, they all are in a much better place now!
It is eerie! I
And so sad that so many talents have been lost!
So sad and so eerie. Do you think she wanted to become part of that “hall of fame”? She was certainly on a path of self-destruction 🙁
Jesus died at 33 and they all want to better him? What a waste. Damn shame.
Thank God I made it to 28 this year. And goodness, Janis looks way older than 27. In all seriousness, incredibly talented artists.
Very sad! That’s such a pretty pic of Amy too.
