"The '27 Club' refers to the widespread legend that notable people, particularly musicians, are unusually likely to die at age 27. Using Wikipedia data we show that while age 27 does not hold greater risk of mortality for notable persons, those who died at 27 are as a group exceptionally notable compared to those who died at other young ages."
"Experts have now debunked this myth, saying that famous people are no more likely to die at 27 compared to other ages. The legacies of famous people who died at this age tend to garner more attention compared to those who passed away at other ages."
