Plot summary
Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison all died at the age of 27 between 1969 and 1971. At the time, the coincidence gave rise to some comment, but it was not until the death of Kurt Cobain, about two and a half decades later, that the idea of a "27 Club" began to catch on in public perception, reignited with the death of Amy Winehouse in 2011. Through interviews with people who knew them, such as music stars, critics, medical experts and unseen footage, the lives, music, and artistry of those who died at 27 are investigated with a bid to find answers.

Origins of the "27 Club" Early 20th Century Roots: The concept can be traced to early figures like blues musician Robert Johnson, who died in 1938 at 27, although his death was not linked to a broader cultural phenomenon at the time. The "Original" Deaths (1969-1971): The term "27 Club" was coined in the early 1970s following the consecutive deaths of several influential musicians: Brian Jones: (Rolling Stones) died in 1969. Jimi Hendrix: died in 1970. Janis Joplin: died in 1970, just weeks after Hendrix. Jim Morrison: (The Doors) died in 1971.
