Because Buddy Holly wanted to stop or at least tour considerbly less, and because he moved to New York to try writing more elaborate and different styles of music. Buddy was the first rock n roller to add strings and horn arrangements to rock style music. The Crckets continued to tour without him.

Some time in 1958. Their manager Norman Petty wasn't exactly a "straight shooter" when it came to his clients and money and caused a bit of a riff with the group. Buddy allowed the members of the Crickets to own the rights to name while he went on his solo career mostly in New York City.

Did buddy holly influence the Beatles?

There is no clear evidence that Buddy Holly was an influence on the Beatles since they did not record any of his songs. The Beatles would appear to have been more influenced by Chuck Berry. Still, Buddy Holly was one of the great early rock and roll stars, and it would be logical to think that he must have had at least some influence on all the rock and roll musicians who came after him, including the Beatles.
