Rare Buddy Holly poster from "The Day the Music Died" sells for record-breaking $447,000 at auction

The rarest and only known Buddy Holly poster from "The Day the Music Died," when an airplane carrying Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Popper (real name J.P. Richardson) crashed and killed all three, sold at auction for a record-breaking $447,000. 

Holly, Valens and Richardson had just played a concert in Clear Lake, Iowa, and were headed to Moorehead, Minnesota, for their 12th stop on the ill-fated Winter Dance Party tour, when their single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza crashed in a cornfield during bad winter weather on Feb. 3, 1959, killing everyone on board. 

The tragedy, which killed some of rock and roll's biggest names at the time, would later become immortalized as "The Day the Music Died," in Don McLean's 1971 hit "American Pie."
