The plane crash that tragically claimed the life of Buddy Holly occurred on February 3, 1959. Alongside Holly, the pilot Roger A. Peterson and musicians Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson (The Big Bopper) also perished in the accident. The incident, which occurred in Clear Lake, Iowa, has since been referred to as "The Day the Music Died." Holly chartered the plane because their tour bus lacked heat and Richardson was suffering symptoms of the flu, so Waylon Jennings gave up his seat to Richardson. Valens got his seat on the plane by winning a coin toss. This event left an indelible mark on the history of rock and roll, as it claimed the lives of three talented and influential musicians, cutting short their promising careers. The event inspired the song American Pie by Don McLean.
