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.

The Recording Academy has finally announced who viewers can expect to see performing at this year's Grammys which are scheduled to take place in February.

British singer Adele - whose latest album 25 received chart-topping success - is set to make her return to the ceremony after performing back in 2012.

The "Hello" singer has previously won ten Grammys ranging from Best New Artist in 2009 to Best Song Written for Visual Media in 2014 which saw Bond theme "Skyfall" reign supreme.

Also taking to the stage is Kendrick Lamar who will perform a track from his acclaimed 2015 record To Pimp a Butterfly.

The performance may not be Lamar's sole moment to shine, however, considering the rapper leads this year's nomination tally with recognition in 11 categories including Album of the Year and Best Dance Recording.

R&B musician The Weeknd, who has seven nominations, will also be performing.

The Grammys take place in LA on Monday 15 February.
