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.One of Amy Winehouse's favourite London haunts, Proud in Camden, is celebrating the late singer's life with an exhibition of photographs of her, and other musicians with a significant cultural impact, whose lives were tragically short-lived.
Featuring a portrait (above) of Amy Winehouse by photographer Mattia Zoppellaro as well as the other celebrated members of the so-called "Forever 27 Club", such as Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin. The show goes right back to the death of Buddy Holly in 1959 as also includes portraits of Michael Jackson and Syd Barrett, Freddie Mercury by Peter Hince, Joe Strummer by Steve Double, John Lennon by Tom Hanley, Phil Lynott by Ian Dickson and Jeff Buckley by Merri Cyr.
"This exhibition is a memorial to the artists who have shaped the sounds we listen to and love today; the artists whose contributions have given birth to and shaped movements like punk - Sid Vicious-, rock & roll -Brian Jones-, grunge -Kurt Cobain-, psychedelic rock -Jimi Hendrix- and psychedelic folk -Syd Barratt-, to name but a few," according to a Proud spokesperson.
Preview the exhibition, which opens tomorrow at Proud Camden and runs until 4 March 2012, above.
