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.

Earlier this year, James Corden revealed numerous singers he wants for his Carpool Karaoke sketch.

Among the names - which included Beyoncé and Sam Smith - was Bruno Mars, who confirmed on Instagram that he will be joining Corden on The Late Late Show.

Mars wrote alongside a picture of himself and the ex-Gavin and Stacy actor: “When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. James Corden. Thanks for the lift.”

Of course, Mars won’t be appearing on the show just for giggles: he’ll be flogging his latest album, 24K Magic, which came out earlier this month.

The album follows 2012 chart-topper Unorthodox Jukebox, which featured hits such as “Treasure” and “Locked Out of Heaven”. Mars has been busy in between albums, releasing 2015 single “Uptown Funk” with Mark Ronson, co-writing Adele’s “All I Ask” and performing at the Super Bowl Half Time show in 2014 and 2016.

Meanwhile, James Corden was recently joined by Lady Gaga for Carpool Karaoke, the duo performing songs such as "Perfect Illusion" and "Bad Romance.”
