Dillon died in London in August 2022. Her death occurred just hours apart from that of her husband, Ray Majors.

Dillon moved to London where she met her husband Steve Bywaters, who was a member of the Churchfitters (also known as the Blue Lighthouse Brigade in alternate form) alongside Pete Brown (bass and sax), Geoff Coombs (mandolin, whistles and vocals) and Angus Wallace (guitar and vocals). Steve Bywaters subsequently went on to produce several of Dillon's albums. She signed to One Little Indian for whom she recorded Electric Chair. In 2000 she released Las Vegas Is Cursed, a collaboration with Hector Zazou and East Overshoe. In 2001 Steve Bywaters died after suffering a heart attack. Dillon went on and recorded the well-received Nobody's Sweetheart, produced by Julius from Kinobe and featuring guest vocals from Heather Nova, which was the first of Dillon's albums to be released in the US, in 2004. She then recorded the album Pull the Strings, which was released in 2006. Her 2008 album, Living in Dreams, was recorded in Germany together with her new husband Ray Majors (Mott The Hoople, The Yardbirds) and produced by David Coulter. Dillon and Majors also contributed vocals and guitar to Sisters Euclid's album 96 Tears, a collection of cover versions.
