The accident happened after the singer performed at the Bristol Hippodrome. His taxi crashed when he was headed to Heathrow Airport to fly home with fellow musician Gene Vincent, his tour manager Patrick Tompkins, and his fiancée Sharon Sheeley, who was a chart-topping songwriter. The other three passengers survived, but Cochran died the next day.
When speaking with Vintage Rock, Bell added, “We find ourselves in a situation where so many people want to speak lovingly about Eddie and share their memories. As a result, our schedule has been pushed back. While I was worried about it a few months ago, I had a little word with myself and thought about how Eddie has waited 63 years for this. I just want to do the best job possible with the picture and showcase this fine man who was taken too soon… if it takes a little bit more time, then it takes a little bit more time.”
Cochran will be remembered as a teen idol who was gone too soon, but he still released several hits over the course of his career. Some of his other songs include “Twenty Flight Rock," "Summertime Blues," "C'mon Everybody," and "Somethin' Else." Some of these songs have been covered by The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Bob Dylan. Paul McCartney even used “Twenty Flight Rock” as his audition song for the group that became The Beatles.
In 1987, Cochran was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
