The 27 and Dead Club

[Prof Emeritus at Fawk U]

I'm surprised no rappers are on the list.  You think with their gratuitous use of gunplay they should have a total lock on the list.  Tupac was 25 and Notorious BIG was 24 when they ate lead.

27 is the new 24.

Layne Staley was from Seattle......he wasn't twenty seven but he died too young.

Chris Cornell was a troubled soul from Seattle.

Doug Hopkins of the Gin Blossoms was from Seattle.....he died at age thirty two.

Doug Hopkins of the Gin Blossoms was from Seattle.....he died at age thirty two. . . .

Very sad. I like that band. This is from Wikipedia:

"... Due to his alcoholism, Hopkins was dismissed from Gin Blossoms just before the band broke into the mainstream. His dismissal was controversial, however, and it only worsened his alcoholism and mental health issues. Hopkins died by suicide in December 1993 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the age of 32. ..."

Amen.
