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.Andy Williams has announced plans to perform at Glastonbury – aged 82. The American crooner said Michael Eavis has invited him to perform at the festival's 40th anniversary next year.
An audience at the Cheltenham Literature Festival cheered when Williams, pictured, now 81, said he had been booked. John Wilson, a host on BBC Radio 4's Front Row, said: "I had asked him if he had any plans to play any more gigs and he said he had been asked to play at the festival."
Next year's event sold out in less than 24 hours earlier this month, and it has been rumoured that the Rolling Stones will appear. This year's festival attracted 137,000 music fans and featured acts such as Blur, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen.
