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.

More than 280 items of Michael Jackson memorabilia including the King of Pop's favourite 1967 Rolls Royce will go on display in Japan from next month.

The Lifetime Collection will be exhibited at the Tokyo Tower museum from May 1 to July 4.

Exhibits will include an antique piano and the famous crystal-studded gloves belonging to the superstar, who died last June aged 50, organiser Juliana's Urban Development Group said.

"The famous five-ton 'Neverland' gate sign, which had sat in his vast private property only until several months ago, will meet his fans at the entrance of the Tokyo Tower exhibition," the organiser said in a statement.

Proceeds from the event will be in part given to Jackson's estate administrators and children, the statement said.
