The lives of Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix and a host of other musicians who all died at the age of 27 are to be remembered in a new exhibition.
Forever 27, which also features Brian Jones, Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin, will open in London this September.
The exhibition includes rare photographs of all the musicians, including Philip Townsend's first photoshoot of Jones and the rest of the Rolling Stones.
Speaking about the exhibition, which will take place at the Proud Gallery, curator Sam Talbot said: "We feel that the 27 club still has a continuing relevance. The celebrity spotlight was especially strong on these five musicians.
“Through some of the greatest rock'n'roll photography of the past century, this exhibition gives us an opportunity to examine how it affected them."
Gigwise recently curated our own look at all the musicians who had died at the age of 27 in our Dead at 27 gallery.
