I know plenty about junkies, had a cousin stabbed to death for his phone, so dont preach to me. Drugs are for the weak or stupid but the do gooders always make excuses for them, even more so if you are rich and famous. How many of you embrace a junkie in the street, not many I would think. Im in the musis industry and its full of unreliable flakes with issues. I could have easily become a drunk but sometimes you have to take a look at your own behaviour.

Amazed no one has mentioned Paul Kossoff yet. He was 25 I think. Duane Allman too (although that wasn't drugs, just bad luck).

Jimmy McCulloch from the wings died at 26. Overdose.

= proof that taking drugs is stupid. No excuse

Not drugs, but D. Boon died at 27

Amy Winehouse died after making just two albums, which is bad news for Amy Winehouse and all the people who love her music (and for music is general). But she died at the age of 27, which is a meaningful detail to anyone who decided to set up a posthumous Google alert for the word "Winehouse." People will never stop talking about the handful of musicians who died at age 27, and she will forever be part of that class. Otis Redding died at 26 and Bradley Nowell died at 28, so they won't be mentioned the next time some bozo writes a story about "The Curse of 27." Yet Winehouse will appear in those paragraphs. For this reason, we will be continually reminded of Amy Winehouse's death far more often than the death of Jeff Buckley or Bob Marley or Shannon Hoon, and that will tangentially promote the post-life profile of Back to Black. Had she hung on another three months, this would not be the case. And that's @#$%& up, but it's what happens whenever media becomes the overwhelming force in a society. Cultural memory is now dictated by identifiable news pegs.
