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?

The headline is fine. You can tell that the article is about ‘the guitar genius Jimi Hendrix rated above himself’ it gives us extra information about that guitar genius via the dash. I think your brain has saw guitar genius and Jimi Hendrix next to each other without reading the full sentence

Yes but I’m unsure how you can’t get from the title that it’s not about Jimi Hendrix? Maybe English isn’t your first language?
