The 27 Club—also occasionally known as the Forever 27 Club, Club 27 or the Curse of 27—is the concept that many popular musicians have died at the age of 27, often as a result of "precipitous lifestyles that made them candidates for early self-destruction." The deaths of some prominent musicians at age 27, such as Robert Johnson,Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse have been linked to this idea.

The "club" has been repeatedly cited in music magazines, journals and the daily press. Several exhibitions have devoted to the Club of 27; distributed merchandising products, novels, films and stage plays captured this topic. There have been many different theories and speculations about the causes of such early deaths and their possible connections. Cobain and Hendrix biographer Charles R. Cross writes "The number of musicians who died at 27 is truly remarkable by any standard. [Although] humans die regularly at all ages, there is a statistical spike for musicians who die at 27."

In 2007 she won a Brit Award for Best British Female Artist; she had also been nominated for Best British Album.

José Miguel Monzón, also known as El Gran Wyoming (English: The Great Wyoming) or Guayo is an actor, director and humorist; he is licensed in Medicine but not an M.D.. He was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1955.

He has been showman of several programs like Silencio se juega (1984), La noche se mueve (1992) and El peor programa de la semana (1993). Televisión Española refused to broadcast this last episode because of an interview with the writer Quim Monzó, in which a joke was made about the laboral activity of Elena de Borbón, the daughter of the King. The official reason given was the low ratings of the program.

In 1995 el Guayo returned to TV, but this time he appeared on private channel Telecinco. The name of the program was Caiga quien caiga. He was firstly critical of Felipe Gonzalez's government and later against the government of that time, the Partido Popular.

In 2004 he obtained another program in Televisión Española: La Azotea de Wyoming. It was not completely successful.

Now he is doing El Intermedio on La Sexta.

Songz was born Tremaine Aldon Neverson on November 28, 1984, in Petersburg, Virginia. Raised as a military brat, Songz did not have aspirations to have a musical career as a child due to his shyness, saying "Singing wasn't a reality for me, until other people started noticing I sounded good." He recognized his vocal abilities at the age of 14. Reluctant to sing, he began performing with encouragement by friends and family in high school. Record producer Troy Taylor discovered Songz during a talent show in 2000, which led him to signing a recording contract with Atlantic Records in 2002. After graduating from high school in 2002, Songz moved to New Jersey to begin recording his debut album, though recording didn't actually begin until 2003.
