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.

Morrissey has announced a North American tour with support from Interpol.

The tour will start at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, heading through New York, and going on to venues in Texas and California.

Morrissey will be supporting his forthcoming covers album California Son, which reaches record stores and streaming services 24 May.

The former Smiths singer has become notorious for cancelling and delaying shows, having last June postponed his European and UK tour due to logistical problems. He has not played the UK since performing London Palladium in May last year.

Morrissey caused controversy after publicly speaking out in support of Tommy Robinson, calling the press's treatment of the English Defence League co-founder "shocking".

Morrissey and Interpol will play the following dates.

5 September – Columbia, MD, Merriweather Post Pavilion

7 September – Queens, NY, Forest Hills Stadium

9 September – Philadelphia, PA, BB&T Pavilion

11 September – Kettering, OH, Fraze Pavilion

13 September – Detroit, MI, Meadow Brook Amphitheatre

18 September – Dallas, TX, Verizon Theatre

20 September – Austin, TX, Frank Erwin Center

21 September – Houston, TX, White Oak Outdoor Lawn

28 September – Salt Lake City, UT, SaltAir

30 September – Portland, OR, Theatre Of The Clouds

3 October – San Francisco, CA, Bill Graham Auditorium

5 October – Irvine, CA, Five Point Amphitheatre
