She joins the "27 Club" -- the list of famous rock musicians who died at age 27. They include Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones and Kurt Cobain.The Wikipedia entry also lists bluesman Robert Johnson and a lot of lesser-known musicians who died at that same age.Kurt Cobain, who of course committed suicide, apparently used to talk when he was a kid about joining the club.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_Club
