This essay will be dedicated to the lives that have been cut short due to the overwhelming sense of being put in the spotlight. The 27 Club features legendary musicians that were internationally acknowledged for their style and creativity.

I decided to write about this because it’s a topic that I already have a substantial amount of knowledge in and I would love to further research the lives of great artists that I have grown up to love. I think I’ll focus most of my research on Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison simply because all of them have in common an accidental overdose or intentional suicide.

I’ll definitely reference to secondary research sites such as Forever 27, a tribute website that has related information on theories and myths about the 27 club. I’ll also look up various biography sites on each artist that would give me insight on their personal live.

Although I enjoy each of the artists music, the essay will not focus on that aspect. I want to be able to look inside the lives and characteristics of each departed individual in order to figure either the motives for their early departure or their nature of being in their situation.

I’ll probably focus more on an emotional appeal in order to relate to my audience a little better. I’ll also focus on their ethical appeal in order to evaluate their significance to their societal era.I want to analyze the process that lead them to the point of no return in order to prove that “it’s better to burn out than to fade way”.
