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.

According to Sports Illustrated magazine's website, English rock band The Who will perform the halftime show at the Super Bowl XLIV, scheduled in Miami, Florida on February 7, a coveted spot during the American football match -- the most watched television event of the year.

If Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, the remaining members of The Who, take the stage for the National Football League's championship game, they will follow in the footsteps of classic acts such as The Rolling Stones, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Prince, U2, Aerosmith, and Justin Timberlake with Janet Jackson.

The NFL have not officially announced the appearance and The Who's management has not confirmed it yet.

Currently Daltrey's "Use It or Lose It" solo tour in North America continues through November 30. Townshend is working on a new musical called Floss. The two are also reportedly planning a follow-up album to 2006's Endless Wire.
