Are famous people more likely to die at 27, or does dying at 27 make them more famous?

The idea of the 27 Club is more myth than reality, with studies showing no statistically significant increase in mortality at age 27 among musicians.

Studies indicate that musicians face higher mortality rates in their 20s and 30s, but age 27 does not uniquely correlate with increased risk.

Research reveals that the most dangerous years for musicians are before they reach 25, challenging the perception that 27 is a particularly lethal age.
