February 3, 1959: The Day the Music Died: Photos From the Plane Crash That  Killed Buddy Holly and Others in Iowa ~ Vintage Everyday

3 February 1959: “The Day the Music Died” | This Day in Aviation

Rising American rock stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P.
“The Big Bopper” Richardson, along with pilot Roger Peterson, 
were killed when their chartered Beechcraft Bonanza plane
crashed in
Iowa a few minutes after takeoff from Mason City on
a flight
 headed for Moorhead,
Minnesota.      

Investigators blamed the crash on bad weather and pilot error.

Holly and his band, the Crickets, had just scored a No. 1 hit with
“That’ll Be the Day.”

After mechanical difficulties with the tour bus, Holly had chartered
a plane for his band to fly between stops on the Winter Dance
Party Tour. However, Richardson, who had the flu, convinced
Holly’s band member Waylon Jennings to give up his seat, and
Ritchie Valens won a coin toss for another seat on the plane.
