On February 3rd 1959, a small aircraft carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. Richardson crashed shortly after takeoff, tragically taking the lives of all on board. All three musicians were traveling to Fargo, North Dakota, for the next show on their Winter Dance Party Tour. After consistent bus breakdowns in freezing conditions throughout the run, Holly made the fateful decision to hire a plane to allow himself time to rest before the next gig. A week later, Holly was buried in Lubbock, Texas, with his headstone reading 'Holley' (the correct spelling of his given surname) alongside a picture of his guitar.
