Fredo Santana Joins the 27 Club


This week Chicago rapper Fredo Santana died at age 27...

...joining a long list of rock stars who didn't make it past that age.

The list includes blues singer Robert Johnson, rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix, artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, rappers Freaky Tah, Stretch and Fat Pat, jazz singer Amy Winehouse, grunge rocker Kurt Cobain and singers Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison.

Fredo, who died from kidney failure, had been very open about his abuse of the popular prescription drug concoction known as 'lean' and had recently vowed to kick the habit after his organs began shutting down.
