Buddy Holly was one of the four people on the small-plane which crashed on February 3, 1959 near Clear Lake, Iowa, alongside Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper, and pilot Roger Peterson. Dion DiMucci, of Dion and the Belmonts, had intended to be on the flight as well, but refused to pay $36, an entire month's rent, for a short plane ride.

Waylon Jennings had also intended to travel with the three, but when Buddy Holly learned that Jennings was not going to fly, he said, "I hope your bus freezes up". To which Jennings replied, "I hope your plane crashes", an exchange of words which haunted Jennings for the rest of his life.

Did Buddy Holly have an illegitimate child?

To the best of my knowledge Buddy Holly did not have a daughter; infact he had no children at all. In Philip Norman's biography 'Buddy', on page 157, is a rumor that Buddy did get a Lubbock, Texas girl preganant. The girl was moved away to have the child which was then given up for adoption, this has never been confirmed. Buddy's wife, Maria Elena was pregnant at the time of his death but apparently lost the baby after the stress of hearing of Buddy's accident. So, apparently no children.
