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.

Drums: Kanye West

I'm not even sure if he can play drums but I'm positive he could pick it up very quickly with a few lessons if he doesn't know already. He'd enjoy thrashing around on the drums I think; he's got a lot of stuff to get out and that might help. I'm a huge fan, though – he's amazing.

Guitar: Prince

It would be so good to watch him rocking out on his purple guitar and his sparkly heels. I think "If I Was Your Girlfriend" is probably my favourite ever Prince song.

Bass: Kurt Cobain

It would just be nice to see him again onstage and he could actually play the bass. I was a big Nirvana fan so it would be interesting to throw him into this mix.

Backing vocals: Beyoncé & Sade

I was going to have Beyoncé and Rihanna and have them battle each other on stage to determine who's the best but there's probably too much animosity there so I've gone with Sade to keep it chilled.

Vocals: Adele

Let's put Adele up front. I'm a really big fan, there's so much I love about her. She's got a lot of character and her personality shines through. I think she's relatable, and it feels real and honest. She's inspirational.

Piano: Stevie Wonder

He is an amazing pianist and songwriter and plays with such a distinctive flair. I saw him at Glastonbury and he's doing Bestival this year so I'll make sure I catch him again as seeing him play live is such a joyful experience; it is really, really special.

Delilah's new single 'Breathe' is out 14 May on Atlantic Records
