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.

Foo Fighters are returning to the O2 Arena for this year's BRIT Awards ceremony.

The US rock band will perform live at the awards on 21 February alongside acts including Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Sam Smith and Dua Lipa.

Frontman Dave Grohl said: "How the f**k have we never played at the BRIT Awards before!?!?!

"We've had a ton of firsts over in the UK... from our first festival (Reading '95) to our first headlining arena tour (2002) to our first stadium tour (2008)... you guys have always been so good to us. Why not add 2018 BRIT Awards to the list??!?!? Let's make some noise. See you there."

Nominations for the BRIT Awards are being announcing this Saturday 13 January, live on ITV show The BRITs Are Coming from 5.45pm.
