Buddy Holly died on the 3 February 1959.  He was 22 years old.
Don McLean called that fatal day ‘The Day the Music Died’.

With his animated voice, trademark black glasses, fender Stratocaster and inimitable songs, Holly and his music live on and continue to influence subsequent generations of musicians.
Spencer Leigh has interviewed those who knew him best – his young widow Maria Elena, his band members the Crickets, Des O’Connor who compered his UK 1958 tour as well as musicians, songwriters, friends, fans and many others who worked with Buddy.
