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.

Doncaster-born musician Yungblud (born Dominic Harrison) is one of the most irrepressible young men I've ever met. Over the past couple of years he's been building a rabid live fanbase thanks to his rowdy, outspoken brand of alternative rock, and a personality to match. There's no one else who's doing what he is right now.

Following the release of his debut album, 21st Century Liability last year, he's been causing a stir both in the UK and the US, most recently thanks to the video and track "11 Minutes", which he performs with US singer Halsey.

For his Music Box session he performed three original songs: "Medication", "Polygraph Eyes" and "Loner", all from his debut album.

It's fantastic to see those songs get the stripped-down treatment, with Yungblud proving to be one of the most energetic and charismatic performers we've had in the history of these sessions.

Watch his Music Box performance, above, and make sure you check out his album as well.
