I must be experiencing a generation gap. I've only heard of a handful of these people. But to die at such a young age is always tragic.

Don't sweat it, these names go back the Jazz days of the 40s.

I think everybody knows how Amy Winehouse has lived her life, and this means that her body lasted only for 27 years of this living style. Kurt Cobain was the same, as far as I know. The majority of the other people you have put in this list are unknown for me, so I cannot tell anything about them. But I think this is a coincidence, there are so many people who die at this age. The exception with these ones is that they were famous.
