Biografía
Ian Stephen McCulloch, es un cantante inglés, nacido en Liverpool el 5 de mayo de 1959, líder de la banda Echo and The Bunnymen, icono de los 80 con su inconfundible imagen, Ian McCulloch (coloquialmente conocido como Mac) había iniciado su carrera en la escena post-punk con The Crucial Three junto Pete Wylie y Julian Cope. Mientras éstos pasaron a formar Teardrop Exploses, McCulloch alcanzó el éxito con la banda de culto de los 80 Echo and The Bunnymen, la cual abandonó en 1988 para empezar su carrera en solitario.
Lanzó los álbumes Candleland en 1989, una obra que mantenía la atmósfera envolvente de sus trabajos anteriores (como curiosidad, su hija Candy aparece con él en el vídeo Faith and healing) y Mysterio en 1992 que no obtuvo demasiado éxito.
Su carrera quedó además en un segundo plano en esos años, en comparación con el ritmo frenético que había llevado con Echo and The Bunnymen pues tras la muerte de su padre decidió dar prioridad a su vida personal y a su familia durante una temporada retirándose a su hogar de Liverpool, ciudad en la que siempre ha seguido viviendo.
En 1994 Mac y Will Sergeant, guitarra de Echo, formaron el grupo Electrafixion y lanzaron el álbum Burned.
En 1997 se unieron de nuevo con Les Pattinson, bajo de Echo, y los tres miembros que quedaban de la formación original de Echo and The Bunnymen (tras la muerte en accidente de tráfico del batería Pete de Freitas en 1989) relanzaron el grupo con el nombre original que sigue activo en la actualidad.
En 2003, paralelamente a su segunda etapa con Echo and The Bunnymen, lanzó un tercer álbum en solitario, Slideling, que incluía colaboraciones de artistas conocidos como Chris Martin, de Coldplay.
Se han publicado diferentes biografías de él, si bien Mac ha expresado en varias ocasiones que recogen muchas imprecisiones. King of Cool de Mick Middles (con una espantosa portada) o Turquoise Days: The Weird World of Echo and The Bunnymen de Chris Adams.

Biography
Ian Stephen McCulloch, born in Liverpool on May 5, 1959, leader of the band Echo and The Bunnymen, an icon of the 80s with his unmistakable image, Ian McCulloch (colloquially known as Mac) had started his career in the post-punk scene with The Crucial Three alongside Pete Wylie and Julian Cope. While they went on to form Teardrop Explodes, McCulloch achieved success with the cult 1980s band Echo and The Bunnymen, which he left in 1988 to begin his solo career.
He released the albums Candleland in 1989, a work that kept the enveloping atmosphere of his previous works (as a curiosity, his daughter Candy appears with him in the video Faith and healing) and Mysterio in 1992 which was not very successful.
His career also took a back seat in those years, compared to the hectic pace he had taken with Echo and The Bunnymen, since after his father’s death he decided to prioritize his personal life and family for a season by retiring to his home. from Liverpool, a city in which he has always continued to live.
In 1994 Mac and Echo guitarist Will Sergeant formed the group Electrafixion and released the album Burned.
In 1997 they teamed up again with Les Pattinson, bass of Echo, and the three remaining members of the original line-up of Echo and The Bunnymen (after the death in a traffic accident of drummer Pete de Freitas in 1989) relaunched the group with the original name that is still active today.
In 2003, in parallel with his second spell with Echo and The Bunnymen, he released a third solo album, Slideling, which featured collaborations from well-known artists such as Coldplay’s Chris Martin.
Different biographies of him have been published, although Mac has expressed on several occasions that they include many inaccuracies. King of Cool by Mick Middles (with a hideous cover) or Turquoise Days: The Weird World of Echo and The Bunnymen by Chris Adams.
