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.

Metallica joked that “heads are gonna roll” after actor Jason Momoa excitedly revealed his advance copy of the band’s S&M2 boxset.

The Aquaman star, who is a noted fan of the heavy metal group, posted on Instagram showing the special edition, which includes four LPs, two CDs, and a blu-ray documentary of the band’s 2019 concerts with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.

“I got a really special present in the mail and I just want to show you some of it. It’s got everything in it, man. It’s amazing,” Momoa said.

Joking about the fact that he wanted to show some of his favourite scenes before the film’s release on Friday 28 August, he said: “What are they going to do, sue me? It’s Metallica! If they sued me I’d be like, ‘Dude! Metallica sued me! So rad!”

He added: “Don’t sue me. Big fan, big fan.”

“If you’re a Metallica fan, you’re a Jason Momoa fan. If you’re a Jason Momoa fan, you’re a Metallica fan.”

Metallica shared the video on their Facebook page, writing: “Wait a minute… who sent an early copy of S&M2 to this dude??? Heads are gonna roll!”

“Glad you diggit, bro!” the band added. “We hope everyone out there digs it too!”
