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.

James Corden has attracted not only some very big names but some very big voices for his Late, Late Show Carpool Karaoke segment of late.

Most recently he crooned with Sir Elton John, and last month he broke YouTube records with a note-perfect passenger seat sing-a-long from Adele.

This week he was joined by Sia for a cruise around L.A, and of course they belted out the bangers.

Sia laid siege to “Chandelier”, “Diamonds” and and “Elastic Heart” with her phenomenally powerful voice, drowning out the actually pretty talented Corden.

She also explained the thinking behind her face-covering array of wigs.

“I don’t wear this unless there’s cameras around,” she said. “I only wear this just to try and maintain a modicum of privacy.”

Sia continued: “I was a singer for like 10 or 11 years to mediocre success and I was an alcoholic and a drug addict and I sobered up and decided I didn’t want to be an artist anymore, because I was starting to get a little bit famous and it was destabilising.

“So I thought, ‘what doesn’t exist in pop music at the moment?’ and it was mystery - there’s pictures on Instagram of everyone at the dentist now.”
