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.

Madame Tussauds unveiled a new Rihanna waxwork at a New York tattoo parlour yesterday.

A team of 20 spent four months crafting the figurine of the 25-year-old pop sensation, which is dressed in a costume from the singer’s ongoing ‘Diamonds World Tour’.

Six of Rihanna’s indefinite number of tattoos can be seen on the statue's fingers, hands and an ear.

The wax figure will move to its permanent exhibit at Madame Tussauds New York shortly. It is the corporation’s eighth Rihanna likeness; the seven others are in Hollywood, Las Vegas, Washington D.C., Berlin, Sydney, Vienna and London.
