No, Waylon Jennings was not killed in the 1959 plane crash. He was actually a passenger on the plane that crashed, which also involved Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson. Jennings survived the crash, which claimed the lives of the other three musicians. The incident is often referred to as "The Day the Music Died."

Actually, after Buddy found out that Waylon Jennings gave up his seat to the Big Bopper, Buddy told him "I hope your bus freezes up", to which Waylon replied, "Well, I hope your old plane crashes". Although he was kidding, that statement would haunt Waylon for the rest of his life.


What singer did not board Buddy Holly's plane?

On February 3, 1959, Crickets guitarist Tommy Allsup lost a coin toss to Richie Valens. As a result, it was Valens and not Allsup who died in the plane crash . Big Bopper, J.P. Richardson, who was suffering a bout of the flu, took the plane in place of Waylon Jennings. Jennings beat himself up for years, for exclaiming "I hope your plane crashes!" as they said goodbye. (The band would have known he was joshing, having just told him "I hope your bus breaks down!") Guilt feelings are funny that way.
