Your support helps us to tell the story
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.
Your support makes all the difference.X Factor judge Gary Barlow has offered to step in and perform at the turning on of the Blackpool Illuminations after The Voice star Danny O'Donoghue and his band pulled out.
The Take That frontman told fans on Twitter he would help out if organisers "write a cheque to Children in Need".
Chatshow host Jonathan Ross is switching on the famous lights tomorrow night and told Barlow: "They need someone to sing. Shall we finally unveil our version of the Pet Shop Boys? The Chip Shop Boys has a ring to it."
Barlow, who said he was "rounding up" his band, told fans he would know by midday if the performance could go ahead.
O'Donoghue and Irish rockers The Script said they pulled out of the concert because of "a family matter".
Leader of Blackpool Council Simon Blackburn said: "Marketing Blackpool and Blackpool Council are working very hard to make sure that, in typical Blackpool style, the show will go on and a top quality replacement is found.
"We're doing all we can to make sure it will be as good a show as possible and as many people as possible are able to attend."
Other performers over the weekend include Eliza Doolittle and pop veterans Madness.
