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.The 60th anniversary of The Rolling Stones is set to be celebrated on the BBC with a brand new documentary.
The four part series, entitled My Life As A Rolling Stone, will profile Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and the late Charlie Watts.
The series will feature new interviews with the band and use previously unseen archive footage from the BBC’s vault.
As Watts died last August he was unable to film new material, but his episode will feature old interviews and tributes from fellow musicians.
A number of guests have been announced to appear across the four episodes including Slash, Steven Tyler and Tina Turner.
In a statement, Joyce Smith, the manager for the band, said: “We are thrilled to celebrate 60 years of The Rolling Stones with these four films which give fans around the world a new and fascinating look at the band.”
As well as the new documentary series, the BBC will also be making a number of past films available on iPlayer including Crossfire Hurricane and The Rolling Stones: Totally Stripped.
Frontman Mick Jagger has also recently announced a new solo single called “Strange Game”, which is set to be released 1 April.
The song will be the theme tune to Apple TV Plus series Slow Horses, which stars Gary Oldman, Jonathan Pryce and Kristin Scott Thomas.
