He committed suicide shooting himself after depression caused by alcohol abuse. Shannon rose to fame in the beginning of the 1960s with hit single “Runaway”. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and on the UK Singles chart. The song was voted number 1 as Legendary Michigan Song. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Because of alcoholism, his career went down and he couldn’t repeat the same smashing success, though many of his singles charted, including "Hats Off to Larry", "Hey! Little Girl", "The Swiss Maid" and others. From our site, you can download Del Shannon’s last album in mp3 from our site.
