Foreword

Johnny Holliday died at the age of 74, another rock star and idol of millions, Fredy Mercury, at 45, Bob Marley – at 36, and George Harrison of the legendary Liverpool Five at 58. However, the venerable age of leaving the life of rock musicians sooner exception than the rule.

It’s no secret that the flourishing of this rebellious trend in music coincided with the birth of the hippy movement, where experiments with cocktails from alcohol and drugs were considered the norm of behavior.

In addition, the success and demand brings the stars not only frenzied popularity among fans and super-profits from performances, but also courage, which in the rock environment is transformed into noisy parties with drinking and smoking grass. Nothing so damages health as bad habits and excessive use of doping of all kinds. Maybe that’s why, following the legend about the fatal for the poets of 37 years, a legend was born about the terrible boundary at the age of 27 with rock musicians. Pushkin and Arthur Rimbaud, Mayakovsky and Byron, Robert Burns and Velimir Khlebnikov died at 37, before reaching the forty-year mark. Jimmy Hendrix and Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Amy Winehouse died at 27. Is this an accident or a tragic pattern?

What initiated the myth ofВ В«Club 27В», the sudden death ofВ some rock stars at the peak ofВ popularity and career at 27, is not fully understood. OfВ course, the desire ofВ stars toВ explain the death ofВ pets byВ aВ special combination ofВ circumstances, some rock, which was originally present inВ their fate, is understandable. People-legends continue toВ live inВ the hearts ofВ admirers, turning after death even more fables than inВ life.

It should be noted that, as a rule, all the early-departed stars each in their own way experienced their incomprehensibility, sometimes – rejection of the surrounding world. At the same time, stress relieved with the help of alcohol and drugs, trying to try on their writhing souls with a harsh and not pleasing reality. The halo of romance surrounds the death of these still fairly young people, whose lives were tragically cut short in take-off. But maybe these idols of millions could not go different? «» The stars do not change their orbits, the stars burn out, «remember?

Ladies the first

The future jazz singer, and then the performer ofВ soul, R & B, rock and pop music, Emmy Winehouse, at the age ofВ 16В was known toВ aВ wide circle ofВ fans ofВ В«music ofВ the blacks.В» This British star has repeatedly won the prestigious В«GrammyВ» award, combining the talent ofВ the vocalist and author ofВ texts and music toВ her own songs.

The eccentricity of Amy’s appearance was emphasized by numerous tattoos, and the style of the fatal brutal brunette with otvyaznym behavior in all worked to demonize the image of the singer.

In its orbit, the star attracted an equally odious and ambiguous personality – Blake Filder-Sivila, an assistant clipmaker, whom Amy met in one of the pubs. A
