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.

On August 23, American singer, songwriter, composer and actor Tom Waits released details on his upcoming 31st album - a 13-track album titled Bad As Me - as well as its title track.

The album, slated for an October 25 release, is also being packaged as a deluxe edition that includes three additional songs: "She Stole the Blush," "Tell Me," and "After You Die."

This will be Waits's first album since Glitter and Doom Live, released in 2009. Prior to that album, he released his 2006 three-disc collection Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards, which earned a Grammy nomination.

Waits played alongside Denzel Washington in the film The Book of Eli and is currently working on a new stage musical with director and long-time collaborator Robert Wilson and playwright Martin McDonagh.

Waits was inducted this year into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and he has won Grammy Awards for two albums, Bone Machine and Mule Variations.
