Janis Joplin And The 27-Year Old Club

Source: https://ugc.kn3.net/

Janis Joplin was one of the most talented and successful rock stars in the 1960s, releasing a few albums before her untimely death in 1970.  Known for her covers of the songs Cry Baby, Down on Me, Ball and Chain, and Summertime, and her original Mercedes Benz, she worked with several bands before going solo.  However, bouts with alcohol and drugs affected her performance, such as in Woodstock, and it eventually led to a fatal overdose at the age of 27.  The music world was shocked, especially since Jimi Hendrix, another popular rock artist, also died just a couple of weeks earlier, also at age 27.  Other music artists who died at the same age include Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and Jim Morrison of The Doors.
