’27 Gone Too Soon’ Film Set For Release On 26th March

Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix all died at the age of 27, at the time the coincidence gave rise to some comment, but it was not until the death of Kurt Cobain that the idea of a 27 Club began to catch on in public perception, reignited again with the death of Amy Winehouse in 2011. This group represent just a few of the many well-known singers and musicians who died at that age, and this film looks at the phenomenon and tries to understand why these particular stars are so mythologised and celebrated, and why indeed their lives ended when they did. The film investigates the lives, music, and artistry of these lost icons, who have forever been frozen in time at the age of 27. 27 Gone Too Soon will be screened at Regent Street Cinema, London on Monday 26th March and will be released on the same day on DVD and Digital HD.
