Description

 							
   
  When singer
Amy Winehouse was found dead at her London home in 2011, the press inducted her into what Kurt Cobain's mother named the
27 Club. "Now he's gone and joined that stupid club," she said in 1994, after being told that her son, the front man of
Nirvana, had committed suicide. "I told him not to..." Kurt's mom was referring to the extraordinary roll call of stars
who died at the same young age, including Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim
Morrison of the Doors. All were talented. All were dissipated. All were 27.
  
  In this haunting book, author
Howard Sounes conducts the definitive forensic investigation into the lives and deaths of the six most iconic members of
the Club, as well as some lesser known members, to discover what, apart from coincidence, this phenomenon signifies.
  
  In a grimly fascinating journey through the dark side of the music business, Sounes uncovers a common story
of excess, madness, and self-destruction. The fantasies, half-truths, and mythologies that have become associated with
the Club are debunked. Instead, a clear and compelling narrative emerges, one based on hard facts, that unites these
lost souls in both life and death.
   
  PRAISE
  “This fine study looks at the tragic
history of the 27 Club…. Much of the book's power lies in its refusal to pander to the romantic-melancholy notion
of the tortured young artist who lives fast and dies young. Instead the squalor and chaos of their everyday existence is
exposed in uncompromising detail…. This book is not about more rock star mythologizing. It's about skewering the
mystery of the 27-connection, by exposing its all-too-tragic reality.”—Sunday Times (UK)
  
 
“In a multi-stranded biography, Howard Sounes has set himself the task of finding a link between the lives and
deaths of these six rock stars…. Sounes's masterstroke is to unearth forensic levels of detail on his
subjects…. He has pulled off what could have been a tasteless project with sensitivity.”—The Times
(UK)
  
  “This book is the first time that these committee members, as it were, of the 27 Club have
been buried together under the same cover…a gruesomely enjoyable read.”—The Spectator (UK)
  
  “The 27 Club is the exclusive members-only society that music stars don't want to join. Amy Winehouse, Kurt
Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Brian Jones all died aged 27 and the biographer Howard Sounes uses
this unhappy coincidence [to look] at the rock-star trajectory that brought them all to a premature end….
Recommend[ed].”—New Statesman (UK)
  
  “Sounes mixes biography with investigative
journalism, social science, and rock history into a work that is as engrossing as it is depressing…Though he
doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to sensitive information about his subjects, he does write with a care
that is refreshing for a topic that could easily devolve into ambulance chasing. Sounes, a true crime writer, is
especially incisive when it comes to dispatching conspiracy theories built around many of these deaths. He captures the
sad truth behind a club for which a youthful death is the only entrée.”—Publishers Weekly, 9/23/13

 
  “If you like reading about brilliant young people destroying themselves, this is your book…Hard
living started early will take its toll, and it’s not a complete coincidence they all died when they did, but
it’s not a mystic number either, and Sounes disposes easily with the conspiracy theories that have collected
around the dead stars.”—The Age (Australia), 9/21/13
  
  “[Sounes] is a tenacious
researcher…[He] painstakingly demolishes conspiracy theories and other forms of magical
thinking.”—The Observer (UK), 8/17/13
  
  “Sounes offers a stern corrective to the adage
that it’s better to burn out than to fade away. The author takes a refreshingly skeptical view of the belief that
a conspiracy accounts for the deaths of Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Amy
Winehouse, dismissing urban legends and murder theories to reveal the similarities among them…A compelling
examination of the effects of sudden fame on mentally fragile artists.”—Kirkus Reviews, 11/1/13
  
  “As much as one may have hoped, Sounes dissects the conspiracy theories and puts to bed the lunacy that
surrounds these idols deaths. He also succeeds in producing a highly detailed, expertly researched book, with both
personal family and close friend interviews, making it a tour de force private biography that belongs on both the
shelves of bio fans and anyone that may have been touched by any of the included artists music.”—Huffington
Post UK, 10/13/13
