Jim Morrison is a rock and roll legend who was the lead singer and writer for The Doors. He was given the nickname the Lizard King and was also known as the king of acid rock. This photo is from Life Magazine. The article talks about the way he listens to music - incredibly loud and on repeat so he can hear the words. All that creativity took a toll on him though. After this photoshoot, his health fell drastically. He began drinking and doing drugs very heavily, which later contributed to his death at the age of 27.
Morrison is part of the 27 Club, which is full of stars who died at the young age of 27. Many people think it is a cursed age for celebrities. No one wants to die young, but it is seen as a point of pride to be part of the 27 Club.
