Rock is a thing, oddly enough to say, unpredictable. Sometimes we pay attention to strange numerical coincidences in our life only when something "out of the ordinary" happens. This is especially evident in the example of famous people.
Delayed death of Pankratov-Cherny
Somehow in the late 80s, the famous actor Alexander Pankratov-Cherny was at a festival in Yalta. In the evening, a noisy company gathered at the hotel. The singer Igor Talkov and the famous astrologer Pavel Globa were also present. It so happened that they started talking about occult and astrological topics. Globa made some calculations and suddenly announced that Pankratov-Cherny and Talkov would die on the same day. Neither one nor the other believed him, they treated this prediction as a funny joke, and soon they forgot about it.
On October 6, 1991, the actor was returning from Adler to Sochi from night filming. Everyone was very tired, they just wanted to get to the hotel as soon as possible … The driver did not notice how he exceeded the speed … The car had an accident and crashed into a cake. Alexander survived by some miracle, having received a fracture of the base of his skull and several ribs. Only the next day, while in the hospital, Pankratov-Cherny heard on the news that the night before, at a concert in St. Petersburg, an unknown person had shot Igor Talkov … It struck him like a slash: after all, the astrologer said that they would die in one day! But he got carried away, escaped with injuries. But Igor …
Farewell bouquets
On November 3, 2007, the family of the famous actor Alexander Dedyushko died in a car accident. Late in the evening, on the 109th kilometer of the Moscow-Ufa highway, the Toyota-Picnic belonging to Dedyushko collided with a Scania truck. Apparently, the car took off at high speed into the oncoming lane. None of the three passengers of the Toyota (his wife Svetlana and his 8-year-old son were traveling with Alexander) had a chance to escape.

Shortly before the accident, Alexander, without any reason, gave his ex-wife Lyudmila Tomilina and current wife Svetlana a bouquet of flowers. By a strange coincidence, both women decided to count the number of flowers. And they fell into a slight shock: there were six roses in Lyudmilin's bouquet, and eight in Svetin's. Even number! Maybe he had a presentiment and thus wanted to say goodbye?
Happy "damn dozen"
Most people are afraid of the number 13. Meanwhile, it brought good luck to many famous and outstanding personalities!
So, 13 was the favorite number of the French king Louis XIII. By the way, he chose Anna of Austria from all potential brides precisely because she was 13 years old at that time.
The famous German composer Richard Wagner was born in 1813 (the figures for the year of birth also add up to 13). His name and surname consisted of 13 letters. On 13 August he opened his theater in Bayroth. During his life, Wagner wrote 13 musical dramas. On April 13 he completed his opera Tannhäuser. Its first performance on March 13, 1861 in Paris caused a huge scandal, and the second, which took place there on May 13, 1895, brought success and fame to the composer. After participating in the Dresden Uprising, Wagner was sent into exile. Thirteen years later, he was pardoned. It happened on September 13! The composer died on February 13 …
“The Devil's Dozen” brought good luck to the singer Valeria. When Valeria left for Moscow from her hometown of Atkarsk, she got 13th place on train number 13. In the capital, she managed to enter Gnesinka on her first attempt. On the 13th, the singer met her future husband, composer and producer Alexander Shulgin, who made her a star and became the father of her three children. On the 13th, Valeria decided to divorce. She also met with her current husband Joseph Prigogine on the 13th.
Many celebrities were born on the 13th: St. Augustine - November 13, Heinrich Heine - December 13, Alphonse Daudet - May 13. French writer Georges Simenon was born on February 13, 1903 (the sum of the figures is also 13). The number 13 was also lucky for the American singer Frank Sinatra: the iconic musician was born on Monday, December 13, 1915.
"The phenomenon of the" club 27"
Also, the phenomenon of the so-called "club 27" has long occupied researchers of the paranormal. It was at this age that many talented musicians died, in particular Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain. Recently, scientists from the Australian University of Technology conducted a study that proved the entire inconsistency of the hypothesis of "fatal" age.
Interest in the topic was piqued by the very recent death of popular soul singer Amy Winehouse, who passed away in July last year, two months before her 28th birthday. By an ominous coincidence, literally a few days before Winehouse's death, a famous British magazine illustrated her with a photograph of an article that spoke of celebrities who died at the age of 27, allegedly from a curse. The article argued that Amy is also at risk. And even earlier, a certain British site, registered under the name "When Amy Die?", Invited everyone to guess the exact date of the singer's death, promising the winner of the competition as a prize heaped up "I-pod" …
But Vladimir Vysotsky in the song "On fatal dates and figures" called the age of 37 "fatal" for poets. “Under this figure, Pushkin guessed a duel for himself, and Mayakovsky lay down on the muzzle with his temple,” he writes. It turns out that "both Byron and Rimbaud lay at this line."
Meanwhile, Lermontov, for example, was killed in a duel at the age of 26. Yesenin hanged himself at 30. Viktor Tsoi died in a car accident at 28. And Vysotsky himself died at 42, as if confirming his own lines that "the life span has increased - and, perhaps, the ends of the poets have moved away for a while!"
