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.Veteran rocker Rod Stewart is to go on a national tour with his old group The Faces, it was revealed yesterday.
The tour, provisionally planned for later this year, will feature the band's original line-up from the 70s, including Ron Wood and Ian McLagan. According to drummer Kenny Jones, the tour will raise money for Ronnie Lane, the fifth member of the band, who is suffering from Multiple Sclerosis.
He said that the reunion resulted from a recent secret meeting in Dublin. "There's been a great demand for the Faces to actually reform and do something....It's mainly to help Ronnie Lane and will be in the spirit of Ronnie," Jones, 47, said.
The band, perhaps best known for their hit single Stay With Me, split in the mid 70s after Stewart became a tax exile. The 50-year-old rocker, famous for his love of football and blondes, was nervous when they asked him to rejoin them. "We were in a pub and he said 'Oh do you think the others would let me? Do you think it'll be all right?" I said: 'Yeah, no problem," Jones said.
