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.Hole, the 1990s alt-rock band fronted by Courtney Love, is set to perform its first shows in nearly 11 years in February. Love will bring the act back on stage with a new lineup for concerts in London, Milan, and Amersterdam.
The new lineup, reports Spin.com, includes guitarist Micko Larkin, bassist Shawn Dailey, and drummer Stu Fischer; Love is the only original band member. Fan reaction to the reunion has included online compaints about the absense of the band's former members.
Love founded Hole with bassist Eric Erlandson, who remained with the group until it disbanded in 2002 and responded to the reunion plans by saying a revival of the group could not contractually take place without his involvement. Melissa Auf der Maur, the band's most recent bassist, was rumored to be joining the new configuration but said she new nothing about it.
The band's February concerts will support the long-awaited album Nobody's Daughter, now expected out this spring. Dates are set to include February 17 in London, February 19 in Milan, and February 21 in Amsterdam.
The band has launched a YouTube page with performance videos of Love, Dailey, and Larkin.
