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.

After being teased on Monday, James Corden's carpool karaoke aired on last night's Late Late Show - and it's every bit the must-see you were hoping for.

Following in the footsteps of Stevie Wonder, One Direction and Mariah Carey, Adele took to the passenger seat of Corden's car for the beloved segment.

As well as providing live renditions of her own songs - including "Someone Like You", "Rolling in the Deep" and latest single "Hello" - the British singer, clearly in her element, jumped at the chance to belt out every track thrown her way, namely Spice Girls track "Wannabe".

Showcasing some others skills she hasn't yet tackled on her globally-successful previous three albums, she also revelled in the opportunity to rap along to some Nicki Minaj.

The two found some time to talk too, with Adele dropping in a few interesting details about her career.

During their performance of "Hello", she revealed: "That's me playing the drums!"

"That is what I've always said - that you are the female Phil Collins," quipped Corden.

She also stated, referring to her chart-topping record 25: "This is the last album after my age. I believe in trilogies."
