From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Fresh from the announcement that their latest record will be their final 'conventional' album, Coldplay have released the music video for new single "Up&Up."

Taken from their seventh studio album A Head Full of Dreams, the trippy video sees Chris Martin and the lads placed in rather odd locations.

See for yourself by watching the video above.

"Up&Up" is the third official single to be taken from the album following releases of debut track "Adventure of a Lifetime" and "Hymn for the Weekend" which features uncredited backing vocals from Beyoncé.

Coldplay teamed up with the "Formation" singer for a second time at this year's Super Bowl halftime show alongside Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson.

The British band will headline this year's Glastonbury festival, taking the Pyramid Stage on Sunday 26 June.

It will mark a fourth time Coldplay have headlined, historically becoming the first act to do so. The month of June will also see them play multiple dates at London's Wembley Stadium.

Muse and Adele complete the Glastonbury headline slots.
