Is it true that the 27 Club is a real statistical phenomenon?
No. Two peer-reviewed/reference sources state that statistical research has tested and refuted the idea that notable people, especially musicians, die at age 27 more often than expected; the 27 Club is described as a cultural myth whose only reality is its cultural consequences.
