The Coincidences Of The 27 Club

I stumbled across the 27 Club again recently. It’s nothing particularly new but I find it interesting that several famous musicians all died at the age of 27.

In this category come the likes of Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Ron McKernan, Dave Alexander, Richey James Edwards and so on. Some would say that they all killed themselves, because of personality flaws, though only Kurt Cobain actually committed suicide. In the case of Amy Whitehouse she believed that she would die an early death. Source

I did a little research and found connections between the first three names I have listed, going back to their childhood:

# Amy Winehouse’s father, Mitch, left home when she was nine to go and live with his girlfriend Jane.

# Jimi Hendrix parents divorced when he was nine and he then went to live with his father and

# Kurt Cobain often mentioned how his life altered when his parents divorced when he was aged nine.

You could make a case that nine is significant 3x3x3 (3×3=9×3=27).

No doubt most would say all of this is simply a coincidence but let’s look at what Howard Sounes discovered when writing a book about Amy Winehouse, titled Amy 27. He writes:

So the mystery deepens and there are all sorts of theories floating about on the Internet from Illuminati killings to Astrology. On one discussion board someone called Edward from Los Angeles wrote:

And there are 27 signs in Indian astrology. But there are other significances, often in religion, with the number 27 including such things as:

# The New Testament is made up of 27 books.

# There are 27 grains in some Buddhist rosaries (108 divided by 4).

# Pythagoras and Plato stated that the number 3 cubed (i.e. 27) and number 2 cubed (i.e. 8) represent the Cosmos.

# In the Kabbalah there are 27 letters, corresponding to 27 channels of communication with God and 27 combinations of the names of God and – 13 overt and 14 covert.

# In Feng Shui, to raise money we should keep 27 identical coins in the house.

# Some Masonic lodges have the ’27th’ in their title.

And so it goes on.

Finally a quote from Howard Sounes who wrote Amy27:

Amy Winehouse died two years ago today – which also happens to be my birthday.
