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)

(It spelled famous) And Ritchie Valens became known by first being in a band with his friends and the lead singer (not sure of the and name or band members.) The lead singer eventually envied Ritchie after he noticed that he cold sing better and play the gutiar at a good beat. Soon Ritchie became more in charge and the old band member wass lead out. Soon the Big Booper was offering ritchie something more than just a band but also a recording (which lead his life to success afterward.) At first Ritchie rejected the idea than thought about his family and the money and things they needed so he took the job and started after that. Later once he was already known mostly all over the country he was flying back in forth performing concerts as you should know he died in a plane crash during i think was a blizzard killing all thre ritchie valens, the big blooper ,and buddy holly (including the pilot.) Ritchie valens friend was killed by a airplane part comming out from the sky as it fell from it's own crash ever since Ritchie was always dreaming or shall you say having nighmares about that incident and what do you know poor Rictchie Valens was killed in a plane crashed. Ritchie played many songs that are still here and many people still go on youtube.com to look at his many great song such as La Bamba,Donna (his only beloved girlfriend) oh come on lets go and so on!!!

Ritche Valens plane crashed because of two reasons - poor weather and possbily due to pilot error. The pilot was using equipment with which he was unfamiliar - the Sperry Attitude Gyro. The pilot had passed his written examination but had failed an instrument check nine months before the crash. He wasn't given the full weather report by the Air Traffic Communication Station. A combination of poor decision making, unfamiliarity with the instruments and incomplete weather report were responsible for the plane crash. (Info taken from the Civil Aeronautics Board report on the investigation into the cause of the crash.) Ritchie - RIP.
