The “27” Club

27 Club graffiti in Tel Aviv depicting several members of the club.

The 27 Club includes popular musicians, artists, actors, and athletes who have died at age 27, often as a result of drug and alcohol abuse or violent means such as homicide, suicide, or transportation-related accidents. The deaths of several 27-year-old popular musicians between 1969 and 1971 led to the belief that deaths are more common at this age.

David McGowan wrote, in my opinion, one of the most important books dealing with the CIA, MKULTRA, the 1960’s rock scene, and the government psyop that changed the course of American history.
