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.

Celine Dion offered the world a prime dose of Canadian hospitality after a drunk fan ended up on stage at her Las Vegas show, as part of her residency at Caesar's Palace.

In a video of the incident, the clearly intoxicated woman appears to get closer and closer to Dion, before dry-humping the singer as security start rushing in to remove her. However, the singer waves off the guards as she starts comically singing the Barney theme to keep the atmosphere light ("I love you, you love me").

The audience member who had captured the footage explained in the video's description why Dion had been especially understanding of the woman: her son had a bone marrow transplant and she wanted to come to the stage to urge everyone to become a donor.

"This is why Céline Dion is an absolutely [sic] angel. She sees the best in people and wants to help wherever and whoever she can," the owner of Mat's Channel wrote.

Dion then sincerely tells the woman, "This is 2018. We're going to make a change for your baby. You know what? We've got something in common. We've got babies that we love, and we're going to fight for them. And we're wearing gold, that's a sign."


As the security guards once more close in to escort her off stage, Dion waves them off and declares: "I'm going to help you out. Come. I love you. Come on."

With the woman safely guided away, the singer makes sure to thank the audience for giving the woman a chance to talk, alongside her security team for doing their jobs so well.
