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.

Following the release of Revival last year, Eminem has announced two massive UK shows in support of the album.

The rapper will play two back-to-back dates at Twickenham Stadium this July, marking his first dates in the UK since headlining Reading and Leeds festival.

Tickets for the Twickenham shows — which take place on the 14 and 15 July — go on sale 2 February. Prices have not been confirmed.

Revival managed to reach number one in the UK, the single “River” with Ed Sheeran also topping the charts.

Eminem has recently made headlines for attacking President Donald Trump, most recently saying: “I know that Hillary [Clinton] had her flaws, but you know what? Anything would have been better [than Trump]. A f*cking turd would have been better as a president.”

“He made these people feel like he was really going to do something for them,” he continued. “It’s just so f*cking disgusting how divisive his language is, the rhetoric, the Charlottesville sh*t, just watching it going, ‘I can’t believe he’s saying this.’” Read his comments here.
