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.

Elton John has announced a new album featuring covers of some of his most famous songs.

Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Miley Cyrus, Coldplay, Pink, Q-Tip, Lady Gaga and Queens of the Stone Age are among the artists contributing to Revamp, which is set for release on 6 April via Virgin EMI.

John said: "It's always a huge compliment when an artist loves your song enough to take the time and effort to rework it. As songwriters, Bernie [Taupin] and myself are thrilled when singers we admire and respect as much as those on Revamp choose to add their own unique twist in the process.

"It means that our music is still relevant and ultimately that our songs continue to reach new audiences. We're humbled and thank them all for their generosity."

The full track list for Revamp is as follows:

1) "Bennie And The Jets" / Elton John, P!nk and Logic

2) "We All Fall In Love Sometimes" / Coldplay

3) "I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues" / Alessia Cara

4) "Candle In The Wind" (2018 Version) / Ed Sheeran

5) "Tiny Dancer" / Florence +The Machine

6) "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" / Mumford & Sons

7) "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word" / Mary J. Blige

8) "Don’t Go Breaking My Heart" / Q-Tip featuring Demi Lovato

9) "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" / The Killers

10) "Daniel" / Sam Smith

11) "Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me" / Miley Cyrus

12) "Your Song" / Lady Gaga

13) "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" / Queens of the Stone Age

John is currently preparing for his massive 'Farewell Yellow Brick Road" tour which will see the legendary singer perform over 300 shows around the world, beginning in the US in September this year.
