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.

Drums - Andy Newmark

He was the drummer on Sly and the Family Stone's album, 'Fresh', which is one of my favourite albums. All the drums on it are just amazing. He was a really young guy when that was made and I find his work really inspiring every time I listen to that record.

Guitar - Jimmy Page

I was going to go for Jimi Hendrix but he's a little bit unruly so I picked Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin because he can pretty much play anything and it will sound incredible.

Keyboards - Stevie Wonder

I don't like that many keyboard players, but I went for Stevie Wonder because he's written some of my favourite songs: "Maybe Your Baby", "Superstition", "Love's in Need of Love Today". His chords are amazing.

Bass - Nathan Watts

He plays all the bass on Stevie's albums; he's been playing with him since the Seventies. He's so good and it's not like it's easy stuff either. He can cover everything.

Vocals - Dan Auerbach

He's one half of The Black Keys and a sick blues, pop-rock, singer. Wouldn't it be amazing if he had his guitar too? If I could be in any band at the moment, it would be The Black Keys; they look like they're having so much fun.

James Morrison's new single, 'One Life', is out on March 26 (www.jamesmorrisonmusic.com)
