I saw a concert with Waylon Jennings and he said he was the one who gave up his seat on the plane to Richie Valens.

Maybe some verses are, but basically it's about the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper.

Celebrities who died in a plane crash include: Buddy Holly Richie Valens The Big Bopper Patsy Cline John Denver John F. Kennedy, Jr.
The person who was supposed to but did not get on the plane with the Big Bopper, Richie Valens and Buddy Holly is Dion DiMucci. He did not board the plane because he did not want to pay the $36 fare.
Sorry , Buddy Holly died in a plane crash 1959, along with Richie Valens and the Big Bopper. The song "American Pie" is a tribute to them.
There have been several notable examples involving small private planes: In 2012, Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera died in a crash near Monterrey, Mexico. In 2001, singer Aaliyah Haughton died in a crash in the Bahamas. In 1963, country singer Patsy Cline died in a plane crash in Tennessee.
It is about the plane crash involving Richie Valens, the artist of La Bamba, The big Bopper, the artist of Chantilly Lace, and Buddy Holly, the artist of Peggy Sue.
No, a plane crash.
Waylon Jennings lost the coin toss against Ritchie Valens for a spot on the plane. Fortuitously for him, that loss saved his life. (That is the movie version). Dion, of Dion and the Belmonts, was offered a seat but said that a $36 ticket was a month's rent on his parent's apartment. Tommy Allsup was to have taken a seat but J.P. Richardson was quite ill and Allsup agreed to give his seat up for the Bopper. Waylon Jennings gave up his seat to the Big Bopper. Tommy Allsup lost the coin toss to Richie Valens. Buddy chartered the bus the headliners of the act.
In a plane, not sure where, sorry
