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.Carpool Karaoke has been a huge hit for James Corden’s Late Late Show, and A-listers are piling up to do it.
Previous guests on the segment have included Adele, One Direction, Justin Bieber and Stevie Wonder, and today Chris Martin got in the passenger seat - the setup being that he is looking for someone to give him a lift to the Super Bowl (Coldplay are playing the halftime show).
Disappointingly the pair mostly sing only Coldplay songs (unlike Adele who busted out Nicki Minaj’s ‘Monster’ verse), crooning to 'Adventure Of A Lifetime,' 'Yellow,' 'Viva La Vida,' 'Fix You,' 'Hymn For The Weekend,' 'Paradise,' and 'A Sky Full Of Stars.'
They do also pay tribute to David Bowie though, giving a blast of his classic track ‘Heroes’.
Coldplay might have been fans of Bowie, but the same can’t be said vice versa.
David once turned down the band’s plea for a collaboration, telling them: “It’s not a very good song, is it?”
Corden’s next guest on Carpool Karaoke will be Sir Elton John.
