Yes, Buddy Holly had three older siblings: Larry Holley, Travis Holley, and Pat Holley Kaiter (Holly dropped the "e" from his name after the first contract he signed with Decca Records (I think it was Decca) misspelled his name as Holly and he decided to keep it spelled that way.)

From Wikipedia:
The West End London revival opened on August 3, 2007, at The Duchess Theatre where it ran until 7 February 2009 ensuring that the 50th Anniversary of Holly's death was honoured on 3 February with a special performance incorporating several new numbers for that one night. This version, directed again by Rob Bettinson, is scaled down from its previous incarnations, and the role of Buddy Holly was equally shared by Dean Elliott and Matthew Wycliffe, who played the role in the 2007 UK touring company. Ritchie Valens was played by Puerto Rican actor Miguel Angel, and J.P. Richardson (aka The Big Bopper) by actor Lee Ormsby. The 50th Anniversary Tour played concurrently across the UK and starred Oliver Seymour-Marsh and Glen Joseph as Buddy, with Chris Redmond and Dan Graham as the Crickets.
Billie Holiday is a special case. She's not officialy an inductee but she is in the Hall of Fame. She is in the "Early Influences" catergory. Artists inducted into the early influences category are those "whose music predated rock and roll but had an impact on the evolution of rock and roll and inspired rock's leading artists." Unlike the performers category, these inductees are selected by a committee. The full process isn't transparent and it's unclear who comprises this selection committee. She was inducted in 2000 alongside Nat King Cole.
He didn't; he died in 1959. The last album to feature unreleased Holly material was 1968's Giant.
They were going to the next "Winter Dance Party" tour stop in Fargo, ND.
If you are asking about a 1957 Buddy Holly top ten hit, three songs come to mind: "That'll Be the Day" topped number 1 in both the US and the UK, "Peggy Sue" charted at number 3 in the US and number 6 in the UK, and "Oh, Boy" charted number 10 in the US and number 3 in the UK
His bandmates were supposed to fly with him (Holly chartered an airplane because he was tired of riding in a bus, whose heater kept breaking down), but the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens persuaded them to give up their seats.
NO to the above. J.P. Richarson (The Big Bopper) was ill and was Buddy's first choice to go with him. The other person was supposed to be Tommy Allsup (Buddy's band member and friend) but at the last moment flipped a coin with Ritchie who "won" the seat. (The movie shows the coin toss between Waylon Jennings and Ritchie)
Buddy's parents lived at 1606 39th Street, Lubbock, Texas which is where Buddy married Maria E. Santiago in 1958. In 2010 there was a plaque in front of this house.

Buddy Holly became famous for his music. He was a guitar player (guitar of choice was a Fender Stratocaster) among other instruments he played every now and then like the accoustic guitar, some piano, some experience in drumming, harmonica and country steel guitar. As well as that, he was famous for being a song writer and singer. He performed early Rock 'N Roll which back then was called "Rock-a-billy" because of the roots in R&B mixed with country. Elvis was known as a rock-a-billy singer when he first emerged as well. Then between the two of them and other singers....it became rock 'n roll.
He became famous on May 27 1957 when "That'll be the Day" and "I'm Looking for someone to Love" hit third on the pop charts and second on the rhythm and Blues charts. He died on a plane crash in 1959.
Violin. He changed to guitar in high school.
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.
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.
he mainly played guitar but could play many others including the drums.
He was American.
