Self Esteem is 5/2 to win this year's Mercury Music Prize after the show was postponed due to Queen's death
Self Esteem remains the favourite to win the Mercury Music Prize Award with bookies making her 5/2 to win the award.
The Mercury Music Prize was postponed on September 8th after the death of the Queen was announced on the afternoon of the show.
Organisers have yet to state if they will rearrange the show saying, “We will make an announcement regarding future arrangements as soon as we are able.”
Paddy Power make Self Esteem the 5/2 favourite to win the award, with the odds drifting from the 11/10 that she was two weeks ago.
