1. MORRISSEY
As if you couldn't tell by the name, Steven Patrick Morrissey is the son of two Dubliners, Elizabeth Dwyer and Peter Morrissey, who emigrated to Manchester in the 1950s. Both sides of his family hail from Crumlin in Dublin, and what's more, he's even distantly related to footballer Robbie Keane - their grandfathers were cousins. He addressed his heritage in his solo song 'Irish Blood, English Heart' - but in fact, 3/4 of his former band The Smiths had Irish blood too, including Johnny Marr, whose parents were from Kildare, and drummer Mike Joyce, whose parents hail from Abbeyleix and Shrule.
