A producer who Evanescence worked with and parted ways with in 2010 because he wasn't the right fit for the album.
Early Career
Lillywhite entered the music industry in 1972, when he worked as a tape operator for Polygram. He produced a demo recording for the band Ultravox, which led to them being offered a recording contract with Island Records. Lillywhite soon joined Island as a staff producer, where he worked with many of the leading New Wave artists. His first massive commercial success was with Siouxsie and the Banshees in August 1978 after producing their first single, "Hong Kong Garden", featuring an original hook played on a glockenspiel.
In 1987 Lillywhite worked with The Pogues, producing their breakthrough single "Fairytale of New York" it was due to him that his then wife, Kirsty MacColl, provided the lead female vocal for their biggest hit. The single narrowly missed being the UK Christmas number one single but was still one of the biggest selling records that year.
