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.

One of Linkin Park's most iconic songs was "Numb", released in 2003. The song managed to reach number 14 in the UK, becoming a huge hit among fans.

After being remixed with Jay Z's "Encore", the song reached new heights of fame, earning the Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

Below are Chester Bennington's isolated vocals, showing just how impressive the singer's voice was.

After the release of Meteora, Minutes to Midnight, A Thousand Suns, and Living Things, released between 2007 and 2013 all reached number one in the United States, 2014's The Hunting Party reaching number three.

One More Light, which reached record stores in March 2017, reached number one once again, proving the band retained an incredible fanbase.
