If you don't know what the "27 Club" or the "Class of 27" is, then let me explain. Over the last century, the music industry has lost some truly amazing artists, across a large range of genres. From Amy Winehouse to Robert Johnson, from Jimi Hendrix to Kurt Cobain, these musicians have made some memorable imprints not only in the music world but in our hearts and in our lives! Each of these artists sadly passed away at the tender age of 27, way too early I think we will all agree. With the club encompassing an endless amount class members, here is a list of just a few for us to remember. RIP club 27
