we need to add "Costa Titch" to the list

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. see talk page header or response above Cannolis (talk) 08:26, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE Sahara Davenport!

I have been trying to get Sahara Davenport put BACK on this list for a LONG time. She used to be on the list and for no reason she was removed.

below are THREE articles that mention her as a member of the 27 Club. The first source also includes Reggie Lewis, Harry Hains, Aaron Hernandez and Andres Escobar as members that are not on this Wiki list.

Suggest adding Alan Wilson of canned heat who also died at 27 in 1970. 2600:1004:B020:D2D2:C5B3:DDB2:45DF:3692 (talk) 23:37, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looks OK to me. Let's see what others' say. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:45, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He's in there already, listed as "Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson", date of death September 3, 1970. — Mudwater (Talk) 00:07, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can't edit the article, but I feel the manga Shiori Experience deserves a mention, since the 27 Club is the central theme of its plot. 188.146.108.43 (talk) 15:05, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If it's not important enough to be mentioned in that article, why should it be mentioned here? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 15:35, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article for the manga is woefully underdeveloped, but that's a separate matter. 88.199.147.88 (talk) 16:08, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So do it there first. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 16:44, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So I did. 88.199.147.88 (talk) 21:35, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Good! Now, figure out some appropriate language and try it out here on the talk page. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 21:48, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"A central plot device in the manga Shiori Experience by Yuko Osada is a demonic ritual by which a person can make a contract with the spirit of a musician from the 27 Club. In exchange, they must become a legend of similar caliber by their 28th birthday to avoid death. The series' protagonist, Shiori Honda, becomes haunted by the spirit of Jimi Hendrix on her 27th birthday after her older brother attempts the ritual on himself. The series also features characters haunted by other members of the club, including Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin." 88.199.147.88 (talk) 22:02, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed revision to article lead & merger with first section

The 27 Club is a figurative "club" of popular musicians, artists, actors, and celebrities who died at age 27.[1]

Beginning with the deaths of several 27-year-old popular musicians between 1969 and 1971, dying at the age of 27 came to be, and remains, a perennial subject of popular culture, celebrity tabloid journalism, and entertainment industry lore.[2][3] This cultural phenomenon, which came to be known by the idiom "27 Club," attributes special significance to celebrities who die at age 27, often as a result of drug and alcohol abuse, homicide, suicide, or transportation-related accidents.[4] It also gave rise to the urban myth that celebrity deaths are more common at 27, a claim that has been refuted by statistical research.[2][3][5][6][7] — Goffman82 (talk) 00:35, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
