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.

The iconic singer Prince has died aged 57.

In a statement, his publicist said: “It is with profound sadness that I am confirming that the legendary, iconic performer, Prince Rogers Nelson, has died at his Paisley Park residence this morning at the age of 57.

“There are no further details as to the cause of death at this time.”

While tributes from Lionel Richie, Chaka Khan and Justin Timberlake have poured in, anecdotes and quotes have also been widely shared.

Including this one encounter from Tracy Morgan, who claimed in his book he once got kicked out of Prince's house - a moment we can only wish we were witness.

In case you were wondering on the veracity of this, Morgan mentioned it when appearing on Conan O'Brien in 2014, blaming his antics on his alter ego Chico Divine.

Rest in peace, Prince.
