Dead At 27: Rock'N'Roll Music's Infamous Death Club

Gigwise remembers the biggest members of the fated 27 club...

June 20, 2008 by James Dannatt and Huw Jones

Kurt Cobain 20/02/67 – 05/04/94 The spokesperson for Generation X and Nirvana front-man was found dead at his home with a shotgun wound to the head, gun by his side, after apparently taking his own life. Despite previous suicide attempts and a note found at the scene, it’s claimed that Cobain was murdered as the position the gun was found in was inconsistent with a self inflicted wound and the levels of heroin inside his body were too high to have then pulled the trigger.

Although this is contentious, Richie Edwards of the Manic Street Preachers also disappeared at 27 I think. He can’t be an official member of the 27 club as his body was never found even though its suspected he jumed off the severn bridge
