Few days in rock and roll history are as heartbreaking or mythic as February 3, 1959. On that freezing winter night, a small charter plane crashed into an Iowa cornfield, instantly killing three rising stars: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. Richardson, a.k.a. The Big Bopper. Leaving a permanent scar on American pop culture, the tragedy was later dubbed "The day the music died" by singer-songwriter Don McLean in his song "American Pie." Looking past the legends, the actual events of that fateful tour reveal a startling sequence of last-minute decisions, bad luck, and coincidence.
