All I can see about that is that it's a rumor... interesting one and very plausible but nothing that was definite:

"When Roy passed away at the close of 1988, Shannon was rumoured to replace Orbison in the Traveling Wilburys. However, the rumour remains neither confirmed nor denied by the remaining members of the group. The world can but only guess what might have evolved."

About who would have made the best Wilbury Doughboy...

Dont know whether Del Shannon would have made a good Wilbury Doughboy... just might have. Too bad we never got a chance to see.

I'm still not over Roy Orbison passing on.... very sad.
