27 seems to be a cursed age for musicians with apparently over thirty musicians dieing at that age. "Forever 27" an exhibition at Proud Camdem focuses especially on the five most famous members of this club- Rolling Stones founder, Brian Jones who drowned in a swimming pool in 1969, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain.The exhibition features a mixture of iconic and never before seen images by photographers, Elliot Landy, Phil Townsend, Joe Sia and Jill Gibson.
Going here will be a cause for reflection on the pressure of fame, the waste of potential talent in the end and a celebration of their work that you think about when you see the images.
The exhibition makes me think will the likes of Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse end living as tragic images on a wall all for the price of that strange thing called fame.
