"Peggy Sue" music icon to release new discs half century after death.
Buddy Holly‘s just not fading away.
A legal battle between the estate of the Lubbock, Texas music titan (who died tragically Feb. 2, 1959 in a plane crash with Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper) and his label Universal Music Group will be resolved albeit temporarily.
Despite claims of cheated royalties by Buddy’s older brother Larry, the two will jointly release a 3 CD Memorial Collection including classics "Rave On", "Peggy Sue" and "Not Fade Away".
Another two disc set Down the Line – Rarities features dating back to Buddy at age 14 and formerly bootlegged versions.
Maria Elena, Buddy’s widow, briefly remarried after Buddy’s death tragic death at 22 but her new hubby soon "realized that my heart was not there. It was still with Buddy."
Don McLean may have written about "the day the music died" in American Pie but Buddy Holly never will – not if his fans can help it.
