27 Club
 | It has been suggested that White lighter myth be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since October 2024. |
The 27 Club is an informal list consisting mostly of popular musicians,[2][3][4][5][6] often expanded by artists, actors, and other celebrities who died at age 27. Although the claim of a "statistical spike" for the death of musicians at that age has been refuted by scientific research, it remains a common cultural conception that the phenomenon exists, with many celebrities who die at 27 noted for their high-risk lifestyles.
Membership to the metaphorical "club" is awarded posthumously to public figures, usually named by the media, with the only qualification being age of death.
