Buddy Holly is in the Walk of Fame

Buddy Holly is in the Walk of Fame

Rock n roll icon Buddy Holly was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame on Wednesday September 7.
The star for the rock n roll pioneer, whose hits included "Peggy Sue", "Everyday" and 'That'll Be The Day', was unveiled at a ceremony on what would have been his 75th birthday.

Holly died in a plane crash on February 3, 1959 when he was just 22. His widow Maria Elena Holly, who was married to the singer less than six months before his death, spoke at the ceremony: "One of his dreams was to write scores for movies and to come to Hollywood and make his mark. Half of that dream did not come true. But the other half did come true with this beautiful star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame".

The site chosen is just north of stars for Beatles John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, who cited Holly and his band The Crickets as major influences.
