| | THE 27 CLUB
Kurt Cobain was not alone when his life was cut short so tragically and so young. There have been other rock legends who also died, some say mysteriously, at the age of 27. We take a look some of them. This was poignantly noted at the time of his death by Wendy O'Connor, Kurt Cobain's mother, when she said;
"Now he's gone and joined that stupid club, I told him not to join that stupid club."
