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.

Elton John yesterday announced his first British tour for six years, which will take in Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, two dates in Birmingham and two in London.

On holiday in the south of France, where he is grieving for his friend the murdered fashion designer Gianni Versace, he said he was looking forward to the December tour.

"I'm especially looking forward to playing British cities where I haven't performed for years," he said. His last performance in Britain was at London's Royal Albert Hall in 1994, when he was accompanied only by a percussionist.
