# 27: Gone Too Soon (2018) — Television & Cinema Intelligence Dossier

> **Archytele Living Vault Canonical Record**: https://www.archytele.com/show/27-gone-too-soon-2018

## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Released in 2018, the documentary film 27: Gone Too Soon investigates the lives, music, and artistry of musicians who died at the age of 27. Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison all passed away at this age between 1969 and 1971. Although this initial coincidence generated some comment at the time, the concept of a 27 Club did not truly catch on in public perception until the death of Kurt Cobain about two and a half decades later. This public awareness was further reignited with the death of Amy Winehouse in 2011. The documentary explores these tragic deaths and searches for answers through unseen footage and interviews with various individuals, including music stars, critics, and medical experts who knew them. The documentary has a runtime of one hour and ten minutes and was released in the United States on March 26, 2018.
