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.There are some things in life for which you just can't plan. The all-male operatic-pop vocal group Il Divo was manufactured by Simon Cowell in 2004.
The four – American tenor David Miller, Swiss tenor Urs Buhler, Spanish baritone Carlos Marin and French pop singer Sébastien Izambard – have sold more than 26 million albums since their self-titled debut No 1 album . “As an opera singer you live a bohemian lifestyle,” says Miller, the youngest member at 40. “They told us that it was going to be very lucrative because they were basically going to turn us into the opera version of a pop star and we had to cancel all our engagements. I was going to make my Met Opera debut in New York. The risk was if it had flopped. You don't cancel on the Met easily.”
