February 3 will forever be remembered as "The Day the Music Died."
That day, Buddy Holly, "The Big Bopper" J. P. Richardson, and Ritchie Valens performed at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. It was their final performance.
Moments later, the men boarded a plane to head to their next show in Minnesota. Shortly after takeoff, the plane crashed, killing Holly, Richardson, Valens, and the pilot, Roger Peterson.
We remember all of them today, 67 years later.

Bye Bye Miss American Pie

And Waylon Jennings gave up his seat to “The Big Bopper”

Sad day for use.

Waylon said Buddy Holly teased him about freezing to death on the tour bus, and Waylon joked to Holly that he hoped his plane crashed. Waylon said that haunted him for the rest of his life.

Lost 3 music icons that day. Sad.
