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.Stormzy has been announced as the newest celebrity to be immortalised in London’s Madame Tussauds.
A waxwork of the grime MC is due to be unveiled later this summer.
In a video published on Twitter, Stormzy appears amazed after being shown the finished product.
Upon seeing the statue of himself, he comments: “That’s scary, cuz. Oh my days.”
In the video, Stormzy’s young nephew is also given a glimpse of the wax figure and, after seeing both his uncle and his wax replica together, remarks: “You scared me! You’ve got two Uncle Juniors!”
The rapper has been working closely with the team at Madame Tussauds for over a year to get the waxwork perfect.
Of the announcement, Stormzy comments: “I’m proud, and I hope, when my fans see my figure, they feel proud too”.
He went on to say: “I was told Madame Tussauds London wanted to make a figure of me just after I performed at Glastonbury, and it really felt like the icing on top of the cake.”
An exact date for the unveiling has yet to be announced.
