Скачать или смотреть How Amy Winehouse joined 27 Club of rock 'n' roll death! INTERVIEW

Howard Sounes' new book, "27: A History of the 27 Club," investigates the deaths of rock 'n' roll music legends Brian Jones, founder of the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison of The Doors, Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse.

What they all shared in common is the age at which they died, more or less at their own hands: 27.

We can argue about the relative talents of the group; personally, I'm not sure Brian Jones and Amy Winehouse are equivalent in influence or creativity to Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison or Kurt Cobain.

And once the pattern was established by the first four -- Jones, Hendrix, Joplin and Morrison -- did Cobain and Winehouse simply aspire to be considered as great as them by dying at the same age?

I assume the author of 27 — returning to the show for the first time since he was here to talk about his Paul McCartney bio, Fab — has some strong opinions on this.
