27 Strikes Again!

The eternal debate over Rock n’ Roll, drugs and the figure of 27 just heightened recently with the death of Amy Winehouse, presumably after an overdose of prescribed drugs. This is not the first time that the combination of the three proved to be fatal as we have already seen in the deaths of music greats like Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Janis Joplin and some others as well at the age of 27 years after reaching the pinnacle of success. Conspiracy theorists tend to believe that there is a deep seated satanic meaning in the number 27 which caused the untimely deaths of these rock legends and they claim that there are more to follow. Not going into all those supernatural matters, it can just be said that 27 claimed another victim from the world of Rock n’ Roll.
