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.The Rolling Stone's new video, Doom and Gloom has just been released and already it has been labelled "controversial".
Much of the four minutes features Noomi Rapace, star of the film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. She veers from dousing herself in petrol on top of a rubbish pile to smashing things with a baseball bat to shooting herself, before gorging on fast food until she vomits and then until her head explodes.
The band are no strangers to pushing boundaries on film. Cocksucker Blues, Robert Frank's 1972 cinéma vérité piece on the band which was so lewd it still hasn't been allowed to be released. Meanwhile lead singer Mick Jagger's starring role in Nicolas Roeg's Performance, attracted attention for its drug use and sex scenes.
In the video the band themselves are much tamer, from the elastic Jagger to the ever-elegant Charlie Watts.
It's a return to form for the band of 70-odd-year-olds, but given today's standards it's anything but controversial.
