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.

While the Grammys are arguably losing their cool - Kanye West and Drake are not attending this year’s ceremony while Frank Ocean didn’t make his album eligible - the awards still bring in huge name performers.

Already, the likes of Adele, Bruno Mars and Metallica have been announced for the ceremony. The Grammys has since announced numerous new acts, including Daft Punk and The Weeknd, who will perform their collaboration ‘Starboy’.

Daft Punk are no strangers to the Grammys, having last performed in 2014 following the release of Random Access Memories. However, fans have been eagerly awaiting new material from the duo: could this performance signal their return?

Also performing at the ceremony will be Anderson .Paak, A Tribe Called Quest, and Dave Grohl, who will combine together to form a hip-hop-orientated supergroup. Maren Morris and Alicia Keys will also play together.

Other artists previously announced not already mentioned are John Legend, Carrie Underwood, and Keith Urban. Viral-video hitmaker James Corden will be hosting the event.
