The Day Music Died It was February 3, 1959, the day Buddy Holly (& others) died in a plane crash. Beside Buddy Holly, both Ritchie Valens (La Bamba, Donna) and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson (Chantilly Lace) perished in the plane crash in Cold Lake, Minnesota. "[Waylon] Jennings was also scheduled to fly on the plane ride that ended in Holly's tragic death in early 1959, but he gave up his seat at the last minute to the Big Bopper, who was suffering from a cold."
