Summary

Famous musicians Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse all died at 27 years old. Some call this phenomenon "a media construct". Research shows that of the 3,463 musicians who died in the last two hundred years, there is a 40% spike at the age of 27, compared to the years surrounding it. But, recent studies on the brain help put this data into context. What really happened? Guests: Charles R. Cross (New York Times Best-Selling author of "Heavier Than Heaven"), and Dr. Roger McIntyre (Professor of Psychiatry and Pharmacology at the University of Toronto, Head of the Mood Disorders Psychopharmacology Unit at the University Health Network) Learn more about your ad choices.

In the last few years, NFL, Star, Aaron Hernandez, musician and rapper Frado Centana,

0:37.8

K-pop star Kim Jong-Young, all died at 27 years old. Upon their death, many publications made

0:45.6

a point of saying that they adjoined a special club. By a special club, you may ask.

0:52.4

Well, picture perhaps somewhere in heaven, six musicians. They're at a private club.

0:59.3

There are in different parts of a large, elegant living room that offers fine dining,

1:04.3

a wall of interesting and wide-ranging literature, and obviously comfortable,

1:08.7

expensive sofas and chairs. Near the entrance is Amy Winehouse. She's focused while writing

1:15.3

in her notepad, which isn't a surprise. If you watch the documentary Amy, you'll see a scene in

of her era, Winehouse, for this critically acclaimed album, co-wrote only four of the songs

and herself wrote the rest of the album. This led to five Grammys in 2008, tying the record at

the time for most wins by a female artist in one night. In 2011, Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning.

She was 27 years old. On the other side of the room is Brian Jones from The Rolling Stones.

1:55.2

It's hard to see him because there are a variety of instruments surrounding him. He seems like a

mechanic obsessed with his tools. The sitar, saxophone oboe, and a dulcimer, a folk instrument which
