Skunk Anansie vocalist Skin knows a thing or two about stardom. Her band's first two albums gatecrashed the UK Top 10 on release and in 1999, she became the first Black woman to headline the massive Glastonbury festival in the UK. By that point the band had crossed over from Britrock into the pop-star sphere, and in a new interview in the latest issue of Metal Hammer she discusses what it was like suddenly coming face to face with some of the biggest names in music.
“We played a lot with David Bowie," she says. "He was the ultimate inspiration. I loved him. I was nervous meeting him, because there are certain people who’re elevated beyond everybody else. But he was just a down-to-earth dude. And his wife Iman is as hugely iconic as he is, and she was a delight as well."
