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.

How do you follow up playing/destroying the Super Bowl halftime show? You roll up to your daughter’s school fundraiser and blast out a killer set, of course.

Well, that’s what Beyoncé did as she performed a set at the Centre for Early Education’s 75th Anniversary Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The parents in attendance - as you can probably imagine - were both shell shocked and amazed that Queen B was there to play for them. Donations probably went through the roof.

Notably, Ms Carter belted out a remarkable rendition of Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You” just before launching into her very own “Crazy in Love”. Watch snippets of the performance, caught by various excited parents, in the clip below.

Unfortunately, Jay-Z didn’t join her on stage as was presumably looking after their daughter Blue Ivy. Beyoncé’s new album is expected to land in April while a second LP with her husband is thought to also be in the works. Here’s everything we know about the records.
