63 Years Later, The Final Cricket. 😥

Jerry Allison, the final surviving member of Buddy Holly & the Crickets, has died:

Not only did Allison’s drums anchor the pioneering rock and roll group’s sound, but he also played an important role in crafting the group’s songs. He’s credited as a co-writer on some of Holly and the Crickets’ most famous tunes, including their debut single, “That’ll Be the Day,” and classics like “Peggy Sue” and “More Than I Can Say.”

Band members dying six decades apart just seems sadly bananas, I guess.
