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."
everyone other than: The pilot The Big Bopper Richie Valens Buddy Holly
In 1959, he gave up his seat on the plane with Buddy Holly to the Big Bopper who was sick.
No...Buddy said something to him to the effect of "I hope your bus catches fire" or something like that then Waylon said "I hope your plane crashes" they were just kidding around. for years after that...waylon really thought he was the reason why the plane crashed and he thought he was the reason why Buddy Holly 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.
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.
