Skunk Anansie posted on their socials, “Congrats to our very own Skin for receiving her OBE from King Charles yesterday! 🤩 What an incredible achievement!”

Skin said the award was ‘not bad for a skinny black girl from Brixton who fell in love with rock and roll’.

Skunk Anansie released six albums between 1995 and 2016. ‘Paranoid & Sunburnt’ (1995) reached no 8 in the UK and no 61 in Australia. The second album ‘Stoosh’ reached no 9 in the UK and no 37 in Australia.
