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.

Rod Stewart. Crooner. Performer. Wearer of effortlessly messy hair. And now the singer can add ‘alcoholic philanthropist’ to his list of achievements after offering fans a free drink and footing a huge bill.

Stewart completed his fourth year in residency at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace yesterday in Las Vegas and, clearly in the mood to celebrate, decided to buy some of his fans a drink if they attended his gig.

He tweeted that anyone in Gordon Ramsey's Pub (located in Caesars Palace) on the night of the gig could get a free beer from him.

The catch: they had to wear a Celtic kit.

Stewart tweeted the generous offer, perhaps assuming there wouldn’t be many people in Las Vegas who would bave a Celtic top with him.

He was wrong.

You don't get that with Beyonce, do you?
