I’m a sixty four year old senior citizen. This video brought back memories. I remember how freaked out everyone was about the deaths of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and especially Janis Joplin. Since I was a fan of their music (and an impressionable kid) my parents had to lecture me about drug abuse after each tragedy. God Bless My Parents for keeping me grounded in reality instead of seduced by the tragic fantasy.

[@violetdreams1799]

[@tomcaldwell5750]

@Virginia and Violet Dreams ….. I am now 73 years old and distinctly remember the shock reverberations when Janis Joplin, Brian Jones and particularly Amy Winehouse died. Tragic and preventable losses which must have devastated their respective families and friends. Rest In Peace to all of these wonderfully talented people. Very sad.. 💐💐💐

He was such a nice and intelligent man. ♥️ Rest in peace to all these young talents! 🙏🙏🙏

[@joiedevivre2005]

I'm so glad you included Mia Zapata. Although all the deaths featured in this video were tragic, hers hit me particularly hard- not just because I was a fan of The Gits, but the circumstances of her murder. After her death, many in Seattle's music community, including Nirvana & Pearl Jam, came together in a benefit concert to raise funds to hire a private detective when the case went cold. Her death also led to a movement to empower women to learn self-defense in a program called Home Alive. When Joan Jett learned of her murder & that funds had run out for the private detective, donated money & went on tour with the remaining members of The Gits to raise more funds. Mia's murderer was convicted a decade later. He didn't even know who she was. He died in prison last year.

I have to say this is probably one of your best videos to date. Your research is well done, the narrative is very informative, and your compassion is so moving. Many on this list died because of their bad choices. It's easy to say, "Well, there goes another rock n roll druggie/suicide/waste of talent," but when I hear about their lives, their talents, and their stories in this video, I came away with a profound sadness. And we should always remember that there is a family who mourned each and every one of them.

This might sound a little strange, but it always bothers me when I don't see any acknowledgment, no matter how small written on a headstone, if they were an actor, actress, singer, author, etc...

Once again a terrific program. As a lifelong "Deadhead" I appreciate you including Ron McKernan. He was a gifted musician with that bluesy voice. His background was "black" music as they called it. No slight intended. Ronnie's father was a DJ in San Francisco and played the so called black music. Ronnie was so influenced by the blues. Even knew some folks thanks to his Dad. There used to be a radio show called "Blues before Sunrise". Old blues. I could have seen Ronnie hosting a show like that in his later years while between tours of The Grateful Dead. I wasn't old enough to see Ronnie playin in the band. He was simply Just gifted. Really a shame. Thanks again.

Jim Morrison will always be one of my biggest heart break's..He had such raw talent. Val Kilmer who acted in the Door's movie, once said in the Documentary that it was a real shame Jim didn't focus on his craft a little more...

[@nobodysbaby5048]

There was a live flame quality to Morrison. Only other time I've seen that was the front guy for INXS.

Badfinger also contributed acoustic guitars on George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass album as well as backing vocals on It Don’t Come Easy by Ringo Starr, which was co-written and produced by George Harrison.

I always wondered how Alan Wilson passed away he was such a talent. That was such a terrible story about Jesse and his wife at the hands of nefarious means. When you came upon Pete Ham about fell off the chair I forgot. Bad finger was the first band I ever saw in person. My best friend and I to this day have a special place for Pete Ham in our hearts

[@FrauUnibrow]

It’s nice to see people still remember Alan Wilson ❤

[@Aprilsweet4]

As soon as I saw this video was about the 27 club I knew you would talk about Thuy Trang. She is still my favorite of all the rangers, but hearing you talk about her this time hurts a little bit more as the ranger fandom just lost one of her costar, Jason david frank, just last weekend.

[@bobbytrombley681]

Dude!!!!! My fucking heart dropped when I saw Mia Zapata was finally part of this series!! Thank you sooo much.

[@cantbesure0714]

viva zapata!

[@Karin-]

I LOVE this channel and I loved this video. I've been to Jim Morrison's grave, an experience I won't ever forget, not just Jim's grave, but that whole cemetery, incredible place. Thanks for sharing this, I can't wait for your next video :)

[@koiiyhonze9148]

What will it profit a man to gain the world but lose his soul?

[@cemeteriesdownunder9247]

this is my favorite cemetery channel of all time , love your amazing work ❤

[@BelievingRebel]

Thanks so much for a wonderful tribute. Way back when I turned 27, I thought about Brian, Jimi, Janis and Jim and hoped I would survive the deadly age. (Spoiler alert: I did ) And another thing I have in common with you besides graveyards and Reese’s cups, my favorite Doors song is also “People Are Strange.” Thanks again!

[@walterloucks2374]

All I can say is that I hope that we can all meet in another tim

[@walterloucks2374]

Meet in another time and place, hopefully someplace beautiful ❤️

[@sandrasabatini5175]

Before turning 27, besides thinking of Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Jimmy Hendricks, and Janis Joplin mainly to name a few, I was almost so sure I was gonna go with them at that age. But according to my spoiler, I made it past that age too. The same year I turned 27 is the year of my sobriety date from alcohol, in 2010. Unfortunately I relapsed with drugs only in2015, but cleaned up my mess right away in 2016. Im just glad to be alive and to be able to look at the 27 club, as an obstacle I managed to overcome alive.

[@MrsMikeyPatton]

Well done on turning your life around ❤ I’m surprised and saddened no one else has said that 😢

[@1024laf]

Thank you so much for this Arthur, but even more importantly, Thank you for including those who were cremated and had no markers or headstones, I know you normally don't include them as they have nothing to visit but for this special episode you made an exception and I for one am glad you did. Maybe when you do another video, maybe keep mentioning them and instead of showing markers, you can do like this one and show bodies of water when mentioning those whose ashes were scattered at sea or a forest or wooden area for those scattered around trees or parks or even those who were creamted and their family members still have their ashes in urns. Thank you again for all you do.

[@michaelsimon3640]

Absolutely amazing video! I've watched it twice already and it's amazing! I know this would be a VERY long video, but perhaps a suggestion of visiting the Graves of notable military personnel (ie Medal of Honor recipients, military presidents, and other notables) that impacted the turn of the continuous freedom and liberty that we, as Americans, are blessed to have every day.

[@garychambers5850]

I'm glad you remembered " *Pete Ham* ". He was a very talented singer/ songwriter/ guitarist/pianist. *Thank God The Beatles discovered "Badfinger* " with *Pete Ham , Tom Evans, Joey Molland* and *Mike Gibbins* . They gave us so many great song! Pete should've never taken his life. Things would've worked out later. The same for Tom Evans, who also took his life in 1983. I got to meet "Tom Evans" at a Night Club in "Bridgeport, Ct back in 1981. Great chap!

[@ANewman4291]

Such a shame, so young and talented, may they all rest in peace. ❤️ Thank you again Arthur for sharing the Pete Ham tribute, brilliantly done as always. Wonderfully informative and respectful 27 Club tribute.❤️

[@thema1998]

Firstly, the 27 Club will grow in some way unfortunately. More and more people are dying young! ☹️ Secondly, I'm glad that you featured more 27 Club members than the usual ones that everyone knows about (Jimi, Janis, Jim, Kurt, and Amy).

[@robert.m4676]

And that Stones guy too. Brian🤘🏻

[@drummond5429]

Each video from this channel is a masterpiece itself. Congratulations 👏

[@scottielover5415]

Thank you for this episode. Brought back memories of my youth and favorite artists. Gone, but not forgotten by me.

[@brianmcneil1194]

Anton Yelchin death was tragic, but was preventable. His vehical was due to be recalled, but the manufacturer took too long to send the notice being his grandparents recieved it two weeks after his death. I feel that due to negligence on the manufacturer's part in delaying in sending the notice is responsible for his death.

[@karltork6040]

His Parents sued the manufacturer, and received a settlement. A young talent lost to Corporate stupidity.

[@aprilgosa5779]

Anton's is the most tragic because it could definitely have been prevented

[@Boogledigs]

I adore every one of your videos, but I've found this one particularly superb. Loved the way the theme ties together so many stars and countries. Brilliant, Arthur.

[@billyrodriguez1878]

Arthur, you never keep amassing us with your productions. As sad as this episode was it was brilliant tribute to all of those who left us way too soon. Keep up the magnificent work!!!

[@ninamc6116]

Best video you’ve done! The 27 club was always sad but hit me hardest when Kurt Cobain & Kristen Pfaff died, they were only a year or 2 younger than me. RIP 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jessicahood1879]

Oddly enough both had connections to Courtney Love. I still say she had Kurt killed. Because he was going to divorce her. The documentary Soaked in Bleach points it out! Thank you for doing this video!

[@sykoblud]

Kurt was a legend of the grunge lore

[@venomousnate7263]

I love the unique videos you put out. Excellent work as always.

[@mistressmean7770]

Thank you so much for this episode ❤️ So many beautiful souls gone too soon 😢 💔 But never forgotten ❤️

[@mariloubonilla6600]

I am a fan of your channel and you're one of my reason why I became a taphophile. But other than that, I truly appreciate you that you made it to the Philippines and made a video about this former famous young actor named Rico Yan. He was an amazing actor and lots of filipinos were devastated when he passed away. I thank you for doing that.

[@Holly5794]

I grew up watching the Power Rangers. I remember Thuy Trang's death. It was a sad day. 😔

[@Czechbound]

Another excellent, high quality addition to your videos. So very informative, and as always, respectful. The background music pieces are really fantastic ( does anyone know what they are ?). For non-UK viewers, it's hard to describe just how famous Jade Goodie was from her first appearance on the TV show "Big Brother" until her death. And each of the people in this video were very popular in their own right, in their own time. As always, these videos remind me that we will all end up in the ground, so make use of your time to make meaningful relationshipss, help people, and enjoy yourself. Peace and love to everyone.

[@francesreyes5722]

Brought back many memories. Enjoyed this video and all your videos. Can't wait till the next one.

[@baranduyn]

I wept. So many of their passings rocked me hard. Even though I'm far older than most of her fans, Amy Winehouse's passing broke me. As did Janis' so long ago. I think this is one of your very best videos.

[@sjk6101983]

My best friend actually was almost 27 when she died from an accidental overdose! She died on Valentine’s Day two years ago this upcoming year! We miss you Markie Lynn! ❤❤😢😢She and I had our birthdays ten days apart: mine was the same day as Judy Garland’s.

[@rockville34]

Thanks for including Alan Wilson, co-founder of Canned Heat. They, too, played Dust my Broom and gave proper credit to the original.

[@fortunecat4735]

Thank you for remembering Jonghyun. I really miss him as a kpop fan and as a woman. It was so tragic but actually this is a big problem in the kpop scene. Many idols had done it before. Too sad.

[@docdurdin]

My goodness, Arthur. I would never have guessed that there were this many. Putting all of this together is amazing.

[@IantheKid125]

Dont forgot Elvis's Grandson Benjamin Keough. He died at 27 unfortunately

[@ladyyuna2000]

💐💐RIP to everyone that was featured in this video you will truly all be missed and my prayers go out to you all and your families. 💐💐

[@rubycarson]

Although I love every episode of your wonderful series, this is absolutely my favorite! Your knowledge about all the people of whom you speak is incredible!

[@mr.multiverse7686]

I'm from The Philippines and I've Watched Master Gala..since 4 month ago..Thank You so much for including the matinee idol from 1990s..Rico Yan..I was still very sad about his passing and back in 2002 after his death..he was visited by many of his fans.. Thank You Again, Arthur and hopefully wanted to see more of visiting famous individuals..been a subscriber for 2 years now..have a good day, my friend

[@juzzydaussie]

Tragic. Sad for all of them. Thuy Trang made me sad. I loved the Power Rangers. Always tuned in in the 90’s. And now, another cast member taken. Rest In Paradise, Jason David Frank, aka Tommy The Green/White Ranger

[@charitysghost1207]

This is such a dynamic channel. I'm so excited when I see a new video has been uploaded.💗
