So that evens it out.
Haha, I can't believe my bad math on Nick Drake.

But 27 spot on, almost in every case? Strange.
Come to think of it, Frusciante was aged 27 when he almost killed himself with drugs and such. Just in time.
Heh, it's funny that you mention John Frusciante, who didn't die, but neglect to mention Hillel Slovak who was 26 when he died. But I'll trade you that for another famous one: Brian Jones, dead at 27.
