"The Day the Music Died"
55 years ago tomorrow - When the World said goodbye Buddy.
Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, JP [Big Bopper] Richardson and Pilot Roger Peterson, died in a plane crash over Mason City, Clear Lake, Iowa, USA.

All 3 artists were great influences on many musicians to follow them over the last 55 years. The best remembered was Buddy Holly, in particular his early inspiration of The Beatles.

I remember to this day where I was when I heard the news, as a 12 year old. I'm proud to say that I still have his, and the Then Crickets, full catalogue on vinyl.
