27 years - the age of the fatal star

Why are so many talented people died in 27 years? In the West, it is even the existence of the "Club 27", which consist of young rock star, but scientists refute this.

There is age, in the view of people wearing mystical power. Some even speak of two stages, which are particularly difficult to cross for people unusually gifted, possessing fine mental organization. For example, the great poet Mikhail Lermontov did not live even to 27. At this age, committed suicide Soviet poet and singer Alexander Bashlachev (pictured), the Americans Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain. Most recently, the queen died 27 years of soul music Amy Winehouse.

Does it exist " Club 27 "? The Australian scientists have decided to follow the fate of all musicians who ever got to the first line of the British charts in the period from 1957 to 2007. Of course, sociologists interested only during the life of music stars and 40 years. It was found that in this age of celebrities risk premature death   two to three times greater than that of ordinary people.

But the age of 27 is not any mystical power for musicians. And the death of some well-known artists at this age - pure coincidence. Not that the music stars often die 27 at this age do not have to rush them premature deaths .

Moreover, if in the period from late 1960 to late 1970 noted many cases of early retirement from the lives of celebrities, in 1980 none at all (in 1980 killed John Lennon, but he had turned 40). Scientists believe that this was due to the introduction of better treatments for heroin addiction and depression. So the existence of " Club 27 "Is nothing more than a fairy tale-gloomy.
