Write a comment You’ve probably heard of the 27 club: a group of musicians and singers who have all died at the age of 27. Many famous artists including Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse have died at this young age and it has built up something of a mythology around it. Now Dianna Theodora Kenny, professor of psychology and music at the University of Sydney has studied the deaths of 12,665 musicians to build up a picture of the causes of death and at what age they were when they died to see if there is any truth to the concept of the 27 club.
