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.

As viewers of Channel 4's `The Fame Factor' will be aware, rock stars also have partners in life...

The Rock Wife

She had pouted by his side

In a hundred dodgy bars

They were spliced in holy deadlock

Through an archway of guitars

She emerged into the sunlight

In suspenders, veil and train

In the parish of St Charlie

The patron of cocaine

She honeymooned in Harrods

With her sisters and her Mum

While his lordship and his cronies

Turned their house into a slum

On returning with her lawyer

And a writer from Hello!

He said, "Yes, we'll keep the horses

But the leopard has to go."

Then she named her child Gandalf

And she made her last decisions

She would not stay with a maniac

Who could sleep-throw televisions.
