One of the most famous members of the 27 Club, Jimi Hendrix is widely considered the best rock-and-roll guitar player ever, and one of the most influential figures in the genre’s history. Hendrix took nine prescription sleeping pills before passing out in bed on Sept. 18, 1970. He drowned in his own vomit during the night, and his girlfriend found him dead the next morning. He was 27.
