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.Iman Abdulmajid, the widow of David Bowie, has broken her silence since the death of her husband.
In a simple Twitter post, the supermodel posted a picture which read "'Love and Gratitude' - Iman".
The tweet was 'favourited' over 1000 times.
Bowie's family have kept a low profile since his death from cancer on 10 January.
However, Duncan Jones, Bowie's son from his marriage with Angie Bowie, has been active on social media since 23 January.
In a tweet, he thanked people for their "incredible kind words and thoughts."
He also retweeted a post from cancer charity Marie Curie, which shared a thank you letter to Bowie from a palliative care doctor.
In addition to thanking Bowie for his music, the letter, by Dr Mark Taubert of the Velindre NHS Trust, also thanked him for the dignified way he met his death.
Dr Taubert said: "Your story became a way for us to communicate very openly about death, something many doctors and nurses struggle to introduce as a topic of conversation."
