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.The days when Arctic Monkeys were too short to be served alcohol are long gone. However, perhaps recalling the times before they were famous and had to queue for drinks, two of the band's members have decided to open their own pub.
The drummer, Matt Helders, right, and former bassist, Andy Nicholson, have joined the ranks of celebrity landlords by buying an empty property in their stamping ground of Sheffield and building their own watering hole.
"It'll be like going to your favourite local boozer, but in the centre of town," the musicians claim on their website. "The Bowery will be a hang-out for people who want to avoid the meat-market nonsense of city-centre bars."
Located in fashionable Devonshire Street amid expensive salons and trendy clothes shops, the bar will not be a spit-and-sawdust joint. It will host "live acoustic sessions with national and international guests", and a designer boutique on the first floor, managed by Helders, will "stock exclusive clothing and accessories from a range of hand-picked labels". So, somewhere in between The Ritz and The Rubble, then.
