2008 memoir, “Whatever Happened to Peggy Sue?” Gerron said she was “so embarrassed, I could have died,” when she first heard the song live. A message shared to the Buddy Holly Facebook page on Monday read, “Our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Jerry ‘JI’ Allison, drummer in The Crickets, one of Buddy’s very closest friends, and the inspiration to drummers for decades since, who passed away today at the age of 82.”The note continued, “JI was a musician ahead of his time, and undoubtedly his energy, ideas and exceptional skill contributed to both The Crickets, and rock n’ roll itself, becoming such a success. Buddy is often heralded as the original singer-songwriter, but JI, too, wrote and inspired so many of the songs that would go on to be eternal classics.
There’s more to be said and posted here in the coming days. For today, we think about his family and friends and wish JI to rest in peace.”Allison was born on Aug. 31, 1939 in Hillsboro, Texas.
He and Holly were a duo at first, later adding bassist Joe B. Mauldin to form the Crickets. Mauldin died in 2015 at the age of 74.

by modeling streetwear like it’s, well, nothing.No, Seinfeld was not posing for Calvin Klein but instead the chic urban brand Kith — though noticeably absent from his shoot was a puffy shirt and a pair of cowboy boots.Instead, the comedian sported a Mets hat with a varsity jacket and slimming blue jeans — a pair unfit for Kramer — among floral button downs, a sweatsuit, and a vivid fleece jacket that seems more fit for millennials and Gen Z.And people on the internet — of all generations — are roaring with both shock and pride to see that Seinfeld is still master of his domain all these years later.“To the people who say that Jerry Seinfeld is too old for the Kith vibes, my dude is 68 and looks better than you,” tweeted @iamSAMazing.“Jerome Seinfeld out here killing these Kith ads,” wrote @ruckfules22.It didn’t take long for fans to involve Jason Alexander’s George Costanza in the discussion either. A commenter on the popular meme account @Seinfeld2000 compared Jerry’s varsity aesthetic to that of Georgie in the park.“Who wore it best?” tweeted @BenevolentSpung.Who wore it best? pic.twitter.com/qdacCTPyGYThat wasn’t the only call to get Costanza — once an iconic hand model until a tragic accident ended his career — involved in Kith.
