What is the 27 Club and how did it first attract attention?
When a young person skyrockets to fame, how they deal with the pressure can often make or break the rest of their life. Drugs and partying, the classic rockstar lifestyle is often the downfall of these young up and coming stars. And as the 60s faded into the 70s, some started to notice an odd pattern. Several of the most iconic musicians in the world all died within a very short time span, but the strangest part was that they were all the exact same age. Today, we're investigating the history and the theories behind the infamous 27 Club. This is Red Web.
welcome back task force to another episode of red web the podcast all about unsolved mysteries true crime and the unknown i'm your resident mystery enthusiast trevor collins and joining me hearing this case for the very first time alfredo diaz i think i've for like a second heard about this club tell me what you know break it down as as much as you can remember it's
It's just in that same ballpark of, you know, people say like the rules of three when someone passes. Totally. Absolutely. So this was that on a grander scale was my understanding. And that's it. That's all I, that's all I know.
Interesting. Okay.
Yeah. I don't, I don't, I don't dig into the mysteries. Like, I mean, again, we talked about this right in the beginning where it's like, Oh, like, would you want to do this like true crime internet conspiracy podcast? And I was like, Oh, like I don't go searching for that stuff. And you're like perfect because I want to present it to you. And I was like, awesome because whenever someone mentions anything i'm in right i'm instantly like that i bought my ticket i'm in my seat i'm listening but it's not something i actively go and and search for yeah um so this is one of those things where i was like i heard about it you know someone mentioned it but then you know it was never explained to me and then also most of the time i'll be honest most of the time and i'm guilty of this too someone be like oh i heard about this thing i'm like that sounds awesome tell me more and like uh you know something like that it's
I'm like, oh, okay. Something. Okay.
Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm here to titillate you and tantalize with the intrigues of the world. And what's interesting is I love it. As soon as I asked you, I was like, are you interested in the true crime stuff? Are you interested in unsolved mysteries, internet mysteries, all this stuff that we started with? You're like, well, I don't know anything. I was like, perfect. Qualified. Because all of this stuff just feels like this feels like common knowledge. And so I love it when you go, I don't know, I think I've heard of it. I'm like, oh, this is great. I get to indulge in this. You're the perfect proxy for the audience. And you ask all these things. So the 27 Club, we're going to break down what this thing is, because even if you kind of heard of it and a lot of task force members are like, I kind of know what this is already.
You know that what intrigue could there be? I think understanding why this has started, what the early patterns were, and how it continues, all the details are where the intrigue lie. And then of course, as we like to do, I think, you know, people can kind of give you the napkin math of like, okay, well, this is what the 27 Club is. But when we start to break down some of the conspiracies behind it, why people believe in it, and what maybe the scientific analysis of it is, it almost like makes it even more interesting because then you have suddenly a deeper conversation to follow up otherwise something that's really fascinating. But what's the fact in fiction behind it all? Why are we gravitating to things like this?
It almost reminds me a little bit of the Kennedy curse. We talked about that a few weeks ago. Right, we did. But yeah, but only instead of being like specifically a family, now we're talking about musicians and even in modern times, it's extended more into the world of celebrities, actors in recent years, stuff like that. So yeah, a lot of sensitive topics.
