No she fucking did not join the 27 club!!!!! Her name should not be mentioned within three paragraphs of artists like Jim, Jimi,Kurt, etc etc. She lived and died in the most cliche possible way a musician could and her musical legacy is nowhere near ANY of those artists. She did die at 27, but she is not in the club. Not even close.
