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.

Ed Sheeran will perform at this year's Brit Awards, it has been announced.

The Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter joins the lineup featuring Little Mix, Bruno Mars, The 1975, Emilie Sande, Skepta and Robbie Williams, for the ceremony on 22 February at the 02 Arena.

The news was announced with the release of personalised emojis for each one of the performers.

Sheeran has won a total of four Brit awards, including one for British Album of the Year for 2014's X.

He recently sold out his entire UK tour within minutes when general sale commenced, and is set to release his third album ÷ (Divide) on 3 March 2017.

Sheeran made history when he released two singles at the same time - 'Shape of You' and 'Castle On The Hill' - which debuted at No.1 and No.2 on the charts. He also achieved his first ever No.1 single in the US with 'Shape of You'.

The Brits will be co-hosted by Dermot O'Leary and Emma Willis on 22 February at the O2 Arena.
