    Kirsty Anna MacColl was born in Croydon, South London, on October 10, 1959.
    She was the daughter of musical parents — her father Ewan MacColl was a folk singer, and her mother Jean Newlove a professional dancer.

    The pair shared two children together, Jamie and Louis, but divorced in 1994..

    When did Kirsty MacColl die?
    Kirsty died in a scuba diving accident off the coast of Mexico in December 2000.
    A keen diver, MacColl brought her two sons on holiday for a well-needed break after a relentless 18 months of working.

    The family travelled to Cozumel and it’s said Kirsty planned on introducing her two boys to scuba diving for the first time there.
    While in the water, MacColl was tragically hit by a speedboat travelling illegally in an area designated for swimmers.
    A statement at the time confirmed neither of her sons were injured in the accident.
    In the statement, MacColl was described as a “bright, fun-loving person as well as a talented singer and writer who was loved by anybody and everybody she came into contact with”.
    Shortly after her death, her body was returned to the UK where she was cremated close to her home town of Croydon.
    At the time of her death, Kirsty was just 41 years old.

    Kirsty is best known for the ultimate Christmas song, Fairytale Of New York, on whic she duetted with none other than The Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan.

    Over two decades and five albums, MacColl recorded over 160 songs, ultimately released in an eight-disc boxset by Universal in October 2023. 
    Among these tracks features A New England, a classic female rock song she recorded in her early twenties. 
    A New England peaked at No7 in the UK charts in 1985, with There’s A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears He’s Elvis reaching No14 in 1981.
    She had another top twenty hit in 1989 with Days, which reached a high of No12.
    However, none of her other works reached the same status as the drunken duet, Fairytale Of New York.
    Strangely, when first released the hit song didn’t even make it to the Christmas number one slot, peaking at No2. 
    Recorded with The Pogues’ original bassist Cait O’Riordan, MacColl stepped in on vocals when O’Riordan left the band in 1986. 
    After test recording the vocals, it’s said the band fell in love with her voice and had to keep it on the track.
