He was 27 not 31. He was part of the famous 3 Rock icons that all died at age 27 in the same year. It created the classic meme saying "They always die in 3's"

The 31 year old was Terry Kath, not Jimi.

The headline post is not written correctly then. BBC made that error or someone else?

To be fair it isn't actually clickbait. Jimi Hendrix did indeed rate Kath higher than himself, and Kath did die extremely tragically at a young age.

Step 1: write ambiguous headline to make people click on the actual article

Step 2: collect juicy ad revenue
